On this National #MedalOfHonor Day, I invite you to start reading 2 Medal of Honor books I've had the privilege of helping write: I Have Your Back about @USArmy Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis & 8 Seconds of Courage with Capt. @FlorentGroberg. https://t.co/ol4SOSQUiT #medalofhonorday
Detective First Grade Jonathan Diller lived a life defined by bravery and nobility — even within the NYPD, he chose the noblest and most dangerous assignments, stepping into situations most people will never face.
Two years after he was killed in the line of duty, his loss is still felt across this department and throughout the city. Today, we honored Jonathan’s life, his work, and the way he showed up, a legacy that generations of officers will carry forward.
To Stephanie, Ryan, and the entire Diller family: the NYPD will always stand with you.
Jonathan will forever be a hero of New York City, and may his memory continue to be a blessing.
New York City, meet the hero cops who apprehended two individuals charged with ISIS-inspired terrorism last week. Our entire city owes these officers a debt of gratitude.
They are a reminder that the safety and security of New York City rests on the judgment and courage of the men and women of the NYPD. On Saturday, March 7, that was on full display.
When two IEDs were ignited in the middle of a crowded protest, these officers didn’t step back. They stepped forward without hesitation and without regard for their own safety.
They acted on instinct and training to protect people they did not know and would likely never meet. Moments like that remind us what policing truly requires.
Ash Wednesday marks the start of the Lenten season, and a time of reflection and renewal.
Our NYPD Chaplains visited locations throughout the city to distribute ashes to our officers, helping them prepare for the 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.
Proud to see Maria Otero appointed NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Employee Relations. A true trailblazer, her rise from Police Administrative Aide to Deputy Commissioner is a powerful testament to hard work, integrity, and unwavering dedication to the Department.
Maria understands both the uniformed and civilian sides of the house and has long been a trusted, compassionate advocate for our members and their families. She will be a tremendous asset in this critical role.
Congratulations on a truly well-earned appointment.
On this anniversary, we honor the NYPD members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. We vow to never forget their legacy of service and heroism. #FidelisAdMortem
Deeply moved and honoured to welcome Holocaust survivor Tatiana Bucci to @Europarl_EN today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Having survived the horrors of Auschwitz as a child alongside her sister Andra, Tatiana is a living testament to strength, resilience, and courage. Her presence is a solemn reminder of why we must never forget.
Cara Tatiana, grazie per la tua forza. Grazie per condividere la tua storia con il mondo dal Parlamento europeo.
Over the weekend, thousands of uniformed and civilian members of the NYPD were working across the city to keep New Yorkers safe.
Despite the dangerous conditions, the NYPD showed up. Calls were answered, and officers were out in neighborhoods responding to people who needed help during a storm that kept most of the city inside.
So much of this work was only possible because of our PCTs, the steady voices at the other end of every 911 call. These are the first of the first responders, and @NYCMayor and I visited them today to thank them for their tireless work this weekend during the storm.
It's last call for this nightclub!
After multiple violations, @NYPD83Pct acted with our partner city agencies to permanently turn off the lights at this nightclub and seized dozens of illegal drug products.
This illegal nightclub is officially closed for business.
We remember Detective First Grade Russel Timoshenko, who was shot during a car stop in Brooklyn and died days later from his injuries. Just 23 years old, he served with quiet strength and a brave heart. We honor him today and always. #FidelisAdMortem
We want to take a moment to salute to of our best lieutenants, Lt. Telford & Lt. Varriano and wish them well and congratulations on their retirement after ‘27’ & ‘21’ years of service. God bless you both. @NYPDnews@NYPDHousing@NYPDPC@NYPD1stDep@NYPDCommAffairs@NYPDBklynSouth
Happy birthday, @USArmy! 250 years of rich history protecting America & fighting for freedom in every corner of the globe. Proud to have served during the Vietnam War — and proud of the soldiers who carry on the legacies of those who came before us.
Congratulations to everyone promoted today! A career in the NYPD is about service, leadership, courage, and compassion – qualities that today’s promotees have shown again and again. They have what it takes to be the best, and they will shape the future of our department.
On Memorial Day, we honor the 47 fallen NYPD heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting our country. We also pay tribute to the countless others who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their sacrifice ensures our freedom and their memory lives on in our hearts.
On this #MemorialDay, I wanted to share Peggy Noonan’s Wall Street Journal column celebrating the movie, ‘The Best Years of our Lives,’ about returning WWII veterans. It is my favorite movie of all time. I have seen it countless times. I think it resonates so much with me because my 18-year-old Dad and my wife, Rikki’s, 32-year-old Dad both served in that war. My Dad was a sailor on an aircraft carrier off of Okinawa, fighting off Kamikaze attacks while Rikki’s Dad was in the US Infantry fighting off Banzai charges on Okinawa at the same time. I imagine that their homecomings might have been like those portrayed in this remarkable movie. While celebrating this holiday let’s all remember who and why we are celebrating and the sacrifices they made. https://t.co/rWGwt7QaiV
It was an honor to speak with the recruits currently in the NYPD Academy. Soon, 71 of these brave men and women will be assigned to housing developments across New York City—working to keep residents and visitors safe, and to build stronger, safer communities.
DEA President Scott Munro joined past union president, Michael Palladino, at the annual National Police Defense Foundation Awards Dinner. As president of the NPDF, Palladino helps drive their mission to support law enforcement in medical and legal matters across the country.
