On Wednesday, New York's Capitol building was quiet, but things may be a lot different next Wednesday, as the city and state prepare for Inauguration Day.

The FBI on Monday issued a bulletin warning about planned protests in all 50 state capitals.

"It's my job to be concerned, and so we always will hope for the best, but plan to be prepared," Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan said.

Sheehan said she is working ahead of next week's inauguration to try to ensure that whatever protests are planned stay peaceful, and that counter-protesters stay home and not fan the flames.

"This is a capital city. We're a First Amendment city. We have protests here all the time...and we support free speech," Sheehan said. "What we don't support is a call to violence."

Sheehan said she was scheduled to speak with dozens of mayors of other state capitals across the U.S. on Wednesday. She said they've been in touch throughout the pandemic, but this effort to talk ahead of the protests is one she put together with a friend she met through the U.S. Conference of Mayors in 2019.

"When the mayor of Santa Fe reached out to me to say, 'Hey, we're a really small capital city, we're not used to seeing these types of protests, tell me what I should do,' I said, 'You and lots of other mayors of capital cities are having the same questions,'" Sheehan said.

Sheehan said together, they asked the U.S. Conference of Mayors to get everyone from the capital cities together on a call to try to discuss issues, ideas, and best practices ahead of the potential protests, with each city's challenges and strengths being unique.

In addition to coordinating with state capitals across the country, Sheehan said she has ongoing conversations with law enforcement and other agencies here at home.

"The relationships are there, they've been well established, and we coordinate on other things as well," Sheehan said. "And we have great partners in the state. So we coordinate on a regular basis, and when necessary, if there's a large event, have a command center that allows for all of the agencies to have a representative in one room, and be able to have eyes on what's happening and coordinate responses."

Also part of those ongoing conversations is the New York State Army National Guard. Earlier this week, Gov. Cuomo announced that 1,000 members of the guard would head down to D.C. to help with the inauguration.

Here in New York, a spokesperson said there are still more than 13,000 members of the guard available to help if called upon by local enforcement next week.
