An American Hero 
Today we laid to rest a hero, a hero who selflessly served this country and this city. Join us in taking a moment to honor Detective Joseph Lemm and to make a commitment to ‪#‎NeverForget‬ the sacrifice he made in Afghanistan, or the sacrifice his family continues to make.

MaryAnn Zecca So sad, this was the NYPD Detectives 3rd tour & he's gone. He not only served & protected us at home in NY but protected OUR entire country. There is no way to ever repay this man or his family for his loyalty, courage & sacrifice he possessed. There are not many like him. HE is a great loss to us all !

Congratulations!
More than 1,100 new NYPD police officers graduated the Police Academy today in a ceremony held at Madison Square Garden. Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton presided over the celebration that also included an address by Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson. The new officers will be on the street for New Year's Eve celebrations throughout New York City. 
"You entered this auditorium as recruits, but you leave it as cops. I pledge to take care of you, to give you the resources and training you need, because I am a cop, too," said Police Commissioner Bratton. "There is no greater profession."

IS IT OK IF I GIVE YOU A HUG?
Meet Police Officer Christian Campoverde. Officer Campoverde saved a distraught man who attempted to jump from a balcony at the Queens Center mall last week. Officer Campoverde was off-duty and shopping with his family when he heard the man mumbling that he wanted to kill himself as he pushed his way up the escalator. Knowing that something was not right, Officer Campoverde began to follow the man, but did not catch up to him until he had one le...

Carvey Parker God Bless America and our women and men in blue! Officer Campoverde is a true testament on going above and beyond the call of duty and we should be grateful for him and the thousand others like him!
Lori Evert Malenoski Officer Campoverde! You are an amazing human being, an angel on Earth, a knight in shining armor -- a NYPD Officer... Thank you for your compassion and awareness and heads-up intervention on behalf of this citizen in distress. "Do you want a hug?" -- what an amazing gesture... God Bless You...

Barbara Lev We all need to do more for our four legged creatures. SO much cruelty. If you know of someone being cruel to their pet or any animal, PLEASE contact the NYPD. They can't do it on their own.
Josie Rodriguez Rosario Thank you so much NYPD & ASPCA for helping the defenseless animals. Great job and excellent team work. Punish the animals abusers hard!!!!
NYPD Elves Pulling People Over In The Bronx
On Christmas Eve, Neighborhood Coordination Officers Salley and Colon of the 47 Precinct decided to brighten up the day for a few Bronx residents. They filled up the back of their car with toys for girls and boys, and went out to deliver them in an unconventional method. The Officers waited till they saw cars with children, pulled the drivers over and delivered gifts to the delighted kids and the surprised parents. “We just wanted to make some people smile, see if we can brighten their day,” said Officer Salley. “This means a lot to me to be able to do that, since I grew up in this neighborhood.” ‪#‎ItsWhatWeDo‬

Jayne Maranchuck Ragonesi Merry Christmas to all the officers working today and tomorrow. A special dedication to my 2 relatives working these days. The dedication and selfless actions are greatly appreciated in keeping NYC a safe place. Prayers and love to all and to all a good night!
Dawn Avenelli Thank you, NYPD for wishing all of us a Merry Christmas. It means a lot to me to have someone do that. Even though I have lived out of state for 23+ years, I remember my Manhattan days quite well, specifically, how you were always there when you were needed, your professional demeanor, etc. Merry Christmas to all of you. And, thank you for working tomorrow.

AMERICAN HEROES
Christmas and holidays are truly a wonderful time of year in New York City and beyond. As we gather to celebrate with family and friends, please also take a moment to be grateful for the men and women serving in our military.
Six of them, including our very own Detective Joseph Lemm, were killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan on December 21. 
Join us in remembering and honoring them as they are true heroes:...

Clovis Stewart I work with a nonprofit cat rescue in the Bronx. If the cat needs medical attention or to get neutered, we'd happy to help. If necessary, we can take the cat in until it gets adopted. Can the NYPD give us an update on the cat and let us know if it needs help?
Stuart Seligson Well done Nypd that save the cat amen
NYPD updated their profile picture.
We mourn the loss of NYPD Detective Joseph Lemm, killed yesterday by a suicide bomber while serving this country in Afghanistan. The epitome of selflessness, Detective Lemm was a 15-year veteran of the NYPD and was deployed three times while he served with the U.S. Air National Guard. 
Please join us in thanking Detective Lemm for his service while we keep him and his wife and children in our thoughts and prayers

AN EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THE NYPD
Police Officer Kenneth Healey has returned to work after suffering a critical injury last year when a man struck him in the head with a hatchet. Officer Healey and his three partners were on patrol on Jamaica Avenue in Queens in October of 2014 when they stopped to let a freelance photographer take their photo. As the officers posed for the photo, a man charged them with an 18-inch hatchet, hitting Officer Healey in the head.

Mark Chamberlain It wasn't a man, it was a terroristic animal that attacked him. A man is someone like Officer Healey not the terrorist who attacked him. Stop playing pc police. Welcome back Officer.
Denise Otero Officer Healey, great to hear that you are back on the job, my family wishes you great health, and continued good fortune in all the recovery you may continue to face. Have a Blessed holiday season and much love for your service ! NYPD all the way !
Thank you to all who joined us today in honoring and remembering two heroes. We will ‪#‎NeverForget‬ Detectives Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.

Maureen Snee Contaldi My home will always have a blue ribbon for all the officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting and serving all of us! Rest easy officers Ramos and Liu, you will not be forgotten.
Yvonne Stevenson God bless these two officers for their ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for your service and may you always rest in peace. Thoughts and prayers to your families.
Never Forget
One year ago today, at 2:47 p.m., two of New York’s Finest were murdered. We often remember Detectives Liu and Ramos proudly wearing their uniforms and as members of a special group of people who swear an oath to go in harm’s way to keep the communities they serve safe — ‪#‎ItsWhatWeDo‬. It must not be forgotten that they not only left behind their NYPD family, but that they were husbands, sons and a father. We ask you to join us in our commitment to never forget our fallen heroes or their families.
Please take a moment to remember Detectives Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, the sacrifice they made and the sacrifices their families continue to make. Keep these two heroes and their families close to your heart and in your prayers.
