The New York City Police Department (NYPD) was formed into bureaus and units. Overall, the NYPD was led by the Police Commissioner, a civil administrator appointed by the Mayor, with a uniformed senior uniformed officer from the department entitled "Head of Department". The Commissioner of Police appoints a number of Deputy and Assistant Commissioners. The department is divided into twenty bureaus, six of which are law enforcement bureaus. Each law enforcement bureau is subdivided into sections, divisions, and units, and becomes a patrol district, the surrounding area, and a detective squad. Each Bureau is ordered by Head of Bureau (such as Chief Patrol and Head of Housing). There are also a number of special units (such as the Technical Assistance Unit) that are not part of the Bureau and report to the Head of Department.

Structure
The Patrol Service Bureau is one of the most visible NYPD units. The Bureau plans, directs, and coordinates uniformed Department personnel in law enforcement patrol operations. Under Head Patrol, there are eight Borough Orders, each headed by a Chief Assistant. While each borough has at least one Patrol Borough Command, the Manhattan districts, Queens and Brooklyn have two orders because of their size. The Borough Commands exercises authority over seventy-seven Polres.
- Patrol Borough Chiefs:
- Commander Patrol Officer Borough Manhattan South - Assistant Chief Stephen Hughes
- Commander Patrol Officer Borough Manhattan North - Assistant Chief Kathleen M. O'Reilly
- Patrol Commander Patrol Borough Brooklyn North - Assistant Chief Jeffrey Maddrey
- Patrol Commander Patrol Borough Brooklyn South - Assistant Chief Steven M. Powers
- Commanding Officer Patrol Borough Queens North - Assistant Chief Juanita Holmes
- Commanding Officer Patrol Borough Queens South - Assistant Chief David Barrere
- Commanding Officer Patrol Borough Bronx - Assistant Chief Larry W. Nikunen
- Commando Officer Patrol Borough Staten Island - Assistant Chief Kenneth Corey
Police police
Each patrol region consists of the surrounding area. Each police station is responsible for security and law enforcement within a specific geographic area. Police units patrolling these areas are patrolling and responding to emergencies.
Staten Island now has four areas: 120, 121 (new in 2013), 122, and 123. There are plans to begin construction in 2014 in a new building for the 120th police station.
Queens South began operating the satellite for a large 105 area in the southern part of the area next to the Rosedale LIRR station in July 2007. The building, until then, quarters for Queens South Task Force, Queens South Auto-Larceny Unit, South Queens's Anti-Crime Unit , Team of Discovery of the Queen of the South, and the Team of Major Cases of Detective Bureau. New 116 police station will be built on a parking site next to the satellite.
Police Help
- Assistant Police Section Commander - Inspector Phylis S. Byrne
The NYPD has a reserve police force known as Bantu Police. NYPD Police Assistants completed a training academy appointed by the NYS City Police Training Board as a "part-time peace officer training course". In accordance with New York State Supplementary Police officers equipped with police batons. They also carry Police radios and according to the NYC administration code they carry handcuffs. They assist the Police Department with uniformed patrols and provide crowds and vehicle controls on special occasions, accidents, and fire scenes.

Custom Operations Bureau
- Special Operations Command officer - Bureau Chief Harry Wedin
Emergency Service Unit
- Emergency Service Unit Commander - Deputy Head Vincent Giordano
The Emergency Services Unit, a component of the Special Operations Bureau, provides specialized support and advanced equipment to other NYPD units.
Members of "ESU" are cross-trained in various disciplines for police and rescue work. The Canine ESU unit helps search offenders and missing persons. The Emergency Services Unit also functions as a Special Weapon and Tactic Negotiator (SWAT) and the NYPD hostage negotiator helps and secures the safety of the hostages. Emergency Service Unit works with other departments such as FDNY with water rescue, suicide jumpers, structural collapse survivors, and vehicle accidents. The ESU also has jet skis and a number of Zodiac inflatable rafts that are assigned to units throughout the NYC area.
Aviation Unit
- Air Flight Unit Commander - Deputy Inspector James Coan
Founded in 1928, it claims the difference as the oldest police aviation unit in the world, but there are competing claims from the London Metropolitan Police Service ("The Met"). Based in Brooklyn, the Aviation Unit responds to various emergencies and tasks, supporting other units of N.Y.P.D. Among its abilities is the spread of divers for water saving. From the initial stand, the unit claims it can be anywhere in five areas within 15 minutes, but this has been debated and depends on weather conditions and air traffic congestion.
Since 9/11 the department has made a major overhaul of the Airline. After being equipped exclusively with Bell helicopters, it recently completed its fleet with four Agusta A 119 Koala helicopters, and three Bell 412 helicopters. And recently, the department bought four new Bell 429 helicopters, replacing Agusta helicopters. Its center is a $ 9.8 million "unmarked" helicopter, which can fly at night without lights. However, this function will require approval from the Federal Aviation Administration and local Air Traffic Control on a case-by-case basis, due to the dangers that may arise in the densely packed New York air corridor. The department has also purchased an advanced helicopter flight simulator, so officers can practice flying without actually having to take a helicopter. In 2011 the department said they had a.50 caliber machine gun capable of shooting down light aircraft.
The famous US cyclist Mile-a-Minute Murphy claimed to be the first police officer to fly a plane in the US (possibly worldwide) in 1914 as a NYPD member. He envisioned the use of airplanes to combat crime at the same time, though the Flight Unit appeared to be 11 years after Murphy retired.
Port Unit and Team Scuba
- Port Service Unit Commander -
On March 15, 1858, five members of the New York City Police Department rowed out to the Port of New York to combat piracy on board merchant ships. The NYPD Harbor Unit has been there ever since, protecting life and property. With hundreds of miles of inland waterway to close, this unit operates more than 36 ships from four bases.
For underwater work, the department is used to contract with private diving companies when weapons or other evidence must be recovered from under many rivers and waters of New York. In the early 1970s, however, the Port Unit formed a special scuba team that currently numbered about 30 officers. Unlike many police divers units, whose dive members are only part-time, the NYPD diver is assigned to a full-time unit. (Exceptions are some scuba-trained officers in regular patrol units briefed on the team during busy summers.) In addition to the normal task of evidence recovery, the Scuba Team's mission has evolved since 9/11 to include a counter-terrorism role. For sea-air-rescue work, the Port Unit stores two diver assigned to the Airline 24 hours a day, seven days per week, throughout the year. The diver will work with their FDNY counterparts, who arrived at the incident by fireboat or rescue company.
Installed Units
- Commander of the Installed Unit Commander - Deputy Inspector Barry M. Gelbman
The NYPD Mounted Unit was made in 1858 and is used today in the Patrol unit. This unit has 70 officers and uniformed supervisors and about 45 horses. This unit is divided into 4 "Troops"; Troop B (Manhattan), Troops D (Bronx), Troops E (Brooklyn), and F Troops (Queens).
Strategic Response Group
Commander of Strategic Response Group Commander - Inspector John J. D'Adamo
The Strategic Response Group is organized into each region and specializes in rapid mobilization. The Strategic Response Group responds to citywide mobilization, civil disturbance and major events with trained equipment and teams. They maintain order by implementing effective crime and crowd control strategies.
The Strategic Response Group conducts daily counterterrorism dissemination along with other Department units based on current intelligence and threat assessments. They identify and suppress terrorist surveillance of targets through mobile dissemination teams. They respond quickly and decisively to terrorist incidents or threats.
Strategic Response Groups can be deployed to regions and zones to supplement patrol resources or other Departmental initiatives.
The Strategic Response Group is organized as follows:
- SRG 1 Manhattan
- SRG 2 Bronx
- SRG 3 Brooklyn
- SRG 4 Queens
- SRG 5 Staten Island
Transit Bureau
- Transit Commander Officer - Head of Bureau Edward Delatorre
The NYPD Transit Bureau is part of the NYPD that patrols and responds to emergencies in the New York City transit system. His responsibilities include the New York City Subway network in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. However, there are certain units that have responsibilities throughout the city such as the Homeless Units and the Vandal Task Force.
The Transit Bureau is divided into Borough Transit Orders. This Borough order generally follows the boundaries of the City's geographic area, although there are some notable exceptions. Since there is no subway on Staten Island, there are only four Transit Transport: Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. Each Transit Borough is subdivided into the Transit District.
As a general rule, every Borough is ordered by the Superintendent while the Transit District tends to be commanded by the Captain. The NYPD Detective Bureau investigated all the crimes committed in Transit. Every borough office has assigned detectives from Detective Bureau to be like Detective Detectives. On June 15, 2006 all detectives assigned to investigate transit crimes fall under the integrated (Central Robbery Center) command of the Detective Bureau's Special Investigation Division.
Housing Bureau
- Housing Commander Officer - James A. Secreto Bureau Chief
The Housing Bureau is responsible for providing security and delivery of police services to 420,000 residents, employees and guests of public housing (projects) throughout New York City. They are deployed in the Police Service Areas (PSA), which are almost identical to police stations, with nine PSAs totally located in all five areas. Officers often patrol the interior, ensuring illegal activities do not occur in halls, stairs, or roofs.
Transportation Bureau
- Commander of Transportation - Head of the Bureau Thomas M. Chan
The responsibilities of the Transportation Bureau include traffic enforcement, traffic management, and road safety.
Special units at the New York City Police Department's Transport Bureau include the Highway Patrol, the Traffic Management Center, the Traffic Operations District, the City Traffic Traffic Unit, and the Traffic Enforcement District.
Highway Patrol
- Highway Patrol Commander - Inspector Steven D'Ulisse
New York City Highway Patrol is a special unit under the NYPD Transportation Bureau that is primarily responsible for patrolling and maintaining traffic safety on limited access roads in New York City. Other NYPD Highway Patrol duties and roles include crash investigations, driver training and advanced radar for NYPD officers, field trials, prestige and parade escapes, hazardous materials and truck traffic enforcement, anti-drag racing programs, and anti- terrorists in key bridges and intersections in the city.
The Transportation Bureau also included the Transit Division from 1997 to 1999. The division was upgraded to bureau status, as it did from 1995 to 1997 and again in 1999.
District Enforcement Traffic
- District Traffic Enforcement Commander - Deputy Chief Michael Pilecki
NYPD Traffic Enforcement has many tasks including driving traffic, enforcing parking regulations, pulling vehicles, providing roadway assistance, and enforcing laws related to road construction. Men and women in Traffic Enforcement are referred to as Traffic Enforcement Agents (TEAs), and wear uniforms similar to the uniform worn by the School Safety Agent, albeit with a distinctive white uniform hat. There are four levels of Traffic Enforcement Agencies with each level handling different tasks. Level 1 agents focus on parking enforcement regulations, Level 2 agents focus on driving traffic, Level 3 agents focus on towing vehicles, and Level 4 performs various tasks, including special enforcement such as road construction permits or heavy truck regulations. Only the TEA has the status of 4 peacekeepers, which allows them to carry handcuffs and make unsecured arrests. A TEA with Level 1-3 status has the authority to issue calls for parking and mobile violations, but no other authority. Older Traffic Enforcement Vehicle is dark blue or black with white decals and new vehicles are white with light blue decals. Like the School Safety Agent, a non-supervisor TEA wears an oval badge with an eagle above, in contrast to the shields worn by police officers and seven-point stars worn by Auxiliary officials.
Detective Bureau
- Detective Commander Official - Dermont Shea Bureau Chief
Scene Crime Unit
- The Officer of the Crime Theme Unit Commander - Deputy Inspector Michael W. King
The Crime Scene Unit (CSU) is a unit within the Forensic Investigation Division of the New York City Police Department Detective Bureau.
This unit is responsible for forensic investigation of all murder and sexual assaults, as well as other crimes deemed necessary by investigating investigators. Members of the Crime Scandal Unit assist police detectives in processing crime scenes and determine the exact route of evidence between the NYC Office of the Medical Examiner, NYPD Police Lab and NYPD Property Officer.
The crime scene unit consists of NYPD detectives (or sometimes police officers awaiting their promotion to detectives), not civilian technicians like crime scene units in other parts of the US. Generally these detectives come from the Evidence Collection Team operated at the borough level. The Crime Scene Unit covers all areas of New York City, but has a staff of less than 1% of the total number of detectives on the NYPD.
The Crime Scene Unit has many tools for processing crime scenes, including materials needed to develop fingerprints, tossing footwear and the impression of tires, following the bullet trajectory fired through windows and the chemicals needed to observe blood under special lighting conditions that should be not visible to the naked eye. This unit is also trained to process crime scene in hazardous environments, for example after nuclear, biological or chemical attack.
Popular culture
CSU is the main focus of the CBS TV drama CSI: NY , and is sometimes displayed on both CSI: Miami and CSI: Cyber âââ ⬠<â ⬠<. CSU is also displayed in Law & amp; Messages , Legal & amp; Order: Special Victim Unit , Legal & amp; Sequence: Criminal Intense , and Legal & amp; Order: Trial By Jury , though this is not the main focus of this series.

Center for Real Time Crime
- Realtime Crime Commander Officer - Deputy Inspector Michael Godek
Located on the second floor of Police Headquarters, at One Police Plaza, Real Time Crime Center is basically a data warehouse and search engine operated by detective staff who help provide relevant and timely information to investigating officers. Computer networks store facts about convicted persons, suspects, meetings, nicknames and trivial items whose correlations can assist in the investigation. Computer network control rooms can display satellite images and real-time surveillance cameras and host wireless links to police vehicles equipped to produce sketches at the scene and submit them for comparison with stored data.
Legal Bureau
- The Commanding Officer - Vice Commissioner Lawrence Byrne
NYPD Legal Bureau provides assistance to law enforcement personnel related to departmental legal matters. The Legal Bureau also has a memorandum of understanding with DA Manhattan to selectively prosecute the New York City Court of Criminal Court in a court case, because district lawyers are legally allowed to delegate their prosecution.
The Bureau consists of the Civil Action Unit, Criminal Section, Civil Section, Legislative Affairs Unit, Document Production/FOIL, and Police Action Litigation Section (PALS).
Other units
Anti-Crime Unit
The Anti-Crime Unit is a unit located in all areas, transit districts (TD), and residential police service area (PSA). These officers perform patrol services working in their respective command. They are generally assigned differently than a typical uniformed patrol unit. Unlike uniformed patrol units whose sole purpose is to provide a visible presence on the streets in an attempt to prevent crime, the Anti-Crime Unit specializes in covert operations and tries to avoid detection in an attempt to find criminals during criminal activity to capture them.. Anti-Crime Officers, unlike patrol units, are not required to handle regular radio broadcasts, such as accidents, disputes, and general policing calls that uniformed officers are called up for most of their work. Anti-Crime Officers are usually assigned to find suspect criminals, such as those possessing weapons, or committing repeated crimes in the area. If a particular crime takes place in an area, such as a robbery, the Anti-Crimes officer will be assigned to find those responsible, usually by following the suspects.
To find street criminals, it is important for Anti-Crime officers not to be easily seen. The Anti-Crime Officer therefore usually wears the clothes of the thugs that match the common attire in the area. They will always patrol in unmarked vehicles, which can not be identified at first glance. Some of the vehicles are just the standard street show editions of standard police vehicles like the Ford Crown Victoria, Chevrolet Impala, and Ford Taurus. However, they can also use vehicles that are normally not vehicles used by law enforcement, including Honda Accords, Jeep Cherokees, and others. These officers sometimes work in uniforms depending on the nature of their duties.
In the past, Anti-Crime functions were carried out by the Street Crimes Unit throughout the city. However, after several police officers were involved in shootings in which police conducted trials in the media, although they were all released in court, a notorious reputation for its aggressive tactics, it was dissolved and replaced by an Anti-Crimes unit serving the same thing. purpose but falls under the command of a special operations sergeant, lieutenant, or captain in their respective areas.
Technical Assistance Unit
Founded in 1998 under the name "TARU" formally known as the Tech Service Unit, was originally established in 1972.
- Commander of the Technical Assistance Unit (TARU) - Inspector Gregory Antonsen
The Technical Assistance Response Unit (TARU) provides technical tools for investigation and tactical support for all bureaus within the department, in addition they also provide assistance to other city, state and federal agencies. This unit also deals with some forms of computer forensics. This unit is based at the NYPD headquarters in One Police Plaza.
Movie and Television Unit
Founded in 1966, the NYPD Movie/TV Unit is the first of its kind in the country. Due to its relationship with the NYPD, this unit has the greatest knowledge of how to assist production, especially with complex shooting situations, in crowded cities with vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In addition to these skills, their services are free for the production of filming in the city.
Whether it's filming on bridges, highways, or busy intersections, units control traffic to ensure that companies can get images that may not be possible. Also, many municipal police related events, such as Legal & amp; Messages and Third Watch , create "TKP" which is supervised by Film/TV Unit. Unit responsibility does not end there; The unit also monitors work permits for children, stunts, prop firearms, equipment placement, pedestrian safety, and parking.
While filming on busy New York city streets present countless challenges, this unit, over the years, has developed a strong working relationship with the film industry. The unit seeks to ensure that New York City remains a popular location for filmmaking.
Until the election of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in 1994, this unit is sometimes assisted with the production of pornography. But Giuliani stopped this as part of his efforts to clear the streets of New York City. In 1997, porn film producer Michael Lucas filed a lawsuit against the Police Department and Giuliani citing discriminatory practices used by the Film/TV Unit against the production of pornographic films. The lawsuit was dropped in September 1998 when a district judge gave a motion to be fired on behalf of the NYPD.
Collection Team Evidence
The Evidence Collection Team is assigned to the collection of evidence at the crime scene in each area that is not determined to be at the level required to prosecute the Scene Crime Unit. Each patrol area (Manhattan South, Manhattan North, Bronx, Staten Island, Queens North, Queens South, Brooklyn North, and Brooklyn South) has their own Evidence Collection Team under the control of their respective regional commander. The Evidence Collection Team is staffed by police officers, sergeants and usually led by a Lieutenant.
The Evidence Collection Team begins in Manhattan South by Lieutenant James Bigclit (ret) To take some pressure from the Scene Crime Unit and the police detective team by setting up a forensic unit to bridge the gap between the police latent police officer and the Scene Crime Unit. The Evidence Collection Team processes criminal scenes relating to robbery, robbery, assault in which the victim is unlikely to die, looting cruel and other crimes as directed by the captain of duty.
Many police officers who originally started in the Evidence Testing Team had gone to be moved to the crime scene unit and became detectives. This transfer is difficult, due to changes from the Patrol Service Bureau to the Detective Bureau, as well as the fact that there are more than 150 members from the various Evidence Collection Team who usually compete for one or two slots at the scene.
Although the Crime Scene is expected to handle many high profile or news cases in the city, quite often the Manhattan Southern Evidence Research Team is summoned to work in the Midtown Manhattan area involving celebrities and ends on the cover of national newspapers. Recent examples of this include shootings involving Remy Ma (the rapper) as well as incidents involving Sean "Puffy" Combs and Jennifer Lopez in December 1999.
