NYPD Special Ops

While you were sleeping, @NYPD69Pct cops were attempting to locate a perp wanted for GLA, who fled a stolen vehicle on foot. Using infrared FLIR technology, Aviation Unit pilots located the perp hiding in a residential yard, & led ground units to his location. Great #teamwork

Always great when the @NYPDPC stops by to show her support to the boots on the ground, & to wish #HAPPYHOLIDAYS    to the men & women of the Special Operations Bureau. A pleasant surprise for our ESU Truck 3 members tonight. #MerryChristmasToAll, & a to all a safe tour!

While on patrol in Manhattan, SRG officers conducted a car stop in @nypd32pct. The driver was arrested, and an illegal, loaded Springfield 9mm loaded firearm was recovered from inside of the vehicle. Excellent precision police work by our cops, resulting in safer NYC streets.

Excellent police work by SRG4 officers in the Bronx last night. While patrolling the streets @NYPD46Pct, the officers conducted a traffic stop which led to an arrest. A loaded, illegally possessed 9mm COBRA firearm was recovered from the motorists front right pants pocket.

Bloodhounds have superior K9 scent receptors & are able to distinguish smells 1,000 times better than humans, which gives them exceptional trailing & tracking abilities. Learn how ESU-K9 Officer Loomis works closely with his partner Daisy to track & locate persons of interest.

Great work by our four-legged crime fighter, ESU K9 Coughlin. After the execution of a search warrant @nypdpsa4, Coughlin was sent into the location & successfully sniffed out a loaded, semi automatic, illegal handgun & ammunition that was hidden. Good boy 🐕

Members of the Emergency Service Unit responded to a person in crisis climbing the George Washington Bridge @nypd33pct on Saturday. After hours of crisis intervention & negotiation with the distressed male, he was safely brought down & taken for medical evaluation. Great work!

Gun & Shield Day in the NYPD is the best day for any NYC Police Officer before graduating from NYC’s iconic Madison Square Garden— especially when you pin your original shield on your daughter. Just ask Detective Gonzalez of the elite @NYPDSpecialOps Emergency Service Unit. He had the honor of pinning his police officer shield on his daughter, Mariana, who is scheduled to graduate next week & officially become NY’s Finest alongside her father.
