Former New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton says the city will be ready for the impending arraignment of former President Donald Trump on Tuesday afternoon.

"We have very good intelligence-gathering capabilities. Oftentimes, we know beforehand the size of the crowds we have to deal with," Bratton told Errol Louis on "Inside City Hall" Monday night. "On many occasions, and I think this occasion will be an example of that, we will outnumber the demonstrators."

Bratton, who served two terms as NYPD commissioner from 1994 to 1996 and from 2014 to 2016, says the city will deploy more officers on Tuesday than the size of many other department's full forces.

"This is something that New York probably does better than anyone because we have the resources," Bratton said. "No other city uses barriers as extensively as New York. No other city uses poice officers as extensively as New York."

When working, Bratton says these officers will attempt to limit arrests and allow protesters to practice their freedom of speech.

"The idea here is to discourage any type of disorderly behavior," Bratton said. "You actually don't want to make lots of arrests, because it is confusing, time-consuming and depletes your resources."

In regards to the crowd Bratton expects on Tuesday, he predicted the anti-Trump protesters will outnumber the pro-Trump protesters.

"That is just the nature of New York, the nature of Manhattan," Bratton said.

And while many officers will be focusing on protecting Trump and those attending demonstrations, Bratton says Tuesday will be a normal day for the majority of NYPD officers.

"The vast majority of officers will be doing what they do every day: answering 911 calls, going to court, investigating cases," Bratton said. "For the NYPD, it is another day in New York."

Nonetheless, Tuesday will be an expensive day for the NYPD, as more officers will be needed to deal with Trump's arraignment. The City Council and NYPD officials clashed at a budget hearing last month over the department's overtime costs, with some councilmembers alleging the NYPD is too lavish in their spending.

"The reality is you spend what we need to spend," Bratton said. "[Tuesday] is a day where the department will spend a lot of money on overtime out of necessity."

During a press conference on Monday, Mayor Eric Adams noted there are "no specific credible threats" of violence expected on Tuesday. He also urged protesters and Trump supporters to keep the peace and "be on your best behavior."
