This is a picture of Det. Dalsh Veve at the funeral for Det. Wilbert Mora. Confined to a wheelchair, he still shows up. The perpetrator who put Veve in the wheelchair keeps committing the same crimes and doesn’t seem to be confined to anyplace. What is wrong with this system?

At the NYPD we say Fidelis ad Mortum or Faithful unto Death. @PFPAOfficial Officer George Gonzalez embodied this as he laid down his life protecting the Pentagon. As we vow to #NeverForget, we have another responsibility — to stand with his brother, @NYPDCT Officer Rodney Rubert.

Yes, they swore an oath and wear blue with shields on their chests — but it’s their hearts beneath it all that truly makes them NY’s Finest.
Safely reuniting a missing 85-year-old with Alzheimers, with her twin sister, was enough gratification for our officers—it’s why we swore an oath to serve & protect. But when someone takes the time to follow up with a heartfelt message like this one, we’re speechless:

It’s more than being in the right place at the right time. For NYPD cops it’s about compassionate service, helping those in need — and listening. They’re NY’s Finest!.
When a 15 year-old girl in crisis was trying to jump from an elevated station last night, our team in Brooklyn was there for her- quickly saving her. She now has a shot at getting the care she needs, and our cops go home with smiles of relief that they were able to help.

The thing about NYPD detectives is that they’re unrelenting in their commitment to crime victims and their loved ones. And these investigators combined old fashioned detective work and the latest technology to ensure justice for 19-year-old Kristal.
NYPD investigators took the senseless murder of 19-year-old Kristal Bayron Nieves in East Harlem personally — and worked tirelessly to arrest the suspect and deliver justice. They truly are some of “The Greatest Detectives in the World.”
