Mayor Mamdani, FDNY Commissioner Bonsignore provide update on major technical rescue in Brooklyn teapaw.org/i/broadcasts/2JQPoJBPQ…
Earlier this morning, NYPD detectives arrested a 17-year-old male for the murder of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong on October 29, 2026 in the Bronx. He is being charged with murder.
The NYPD will be relentless in our efforts to get dangerous people out of our communities, especially when it involves the murder of a 15-year-old boy.

Diwali celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, and good over evil, which is at the heart of what the NYPD does. When New Yorkers are frightened or in danger, the men and women of this department answer the call.
Diwali is also a time to celebrate our traditions, strengthen our relationships, and come together as a community, and tonight, it was an honor to join the NYPD Indian Officers’ Society, Desi Society, Hindu Officers’ Society, and Bangladeshi American Police Association to recognize this beautiful holiday.
May this Diwali bring health, happiness, peace, and prosperity to all!

Thank you to these @NYPDnews officers for reacting quickly and resuscitating one of our TLC Safety & Emissions inspectors. They saved his life, and our whole TLC family is forever grateful for their tireless efforts!
NYPD detectives assigned to the U.S. Marshals NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force with support from @USMarshalsHQ partners took Dereck Rivera-Deleon into custody today while he was working at Burger King in Miami for allegedly raping a woman in Central Park on October 24, 2026. Rivera-Deleon will also be charged with two rapes that occurred in Central Park in 2023 and 2021.
The NYPD will stop at nothing to get dangerous criminals off our streets.

Being a police officer means running toward danger and putting the safety of complete strangers above your own.
Today, we swore in 959 new members of the NYPD who have answered that call to serve.
Among them are the children of heroes who were killed or seriously injured in the line of duty, and a new officer already saving the life of someone he’s never met through stem cell donation. This class embodies the courage and selflessness that define the NYPD.
As they begin their careers, they will face moments that test their focus and nerve. Through it all, they must serve with dignity, stand for justice, and protect New Yorkers in every corner of this city. There is no more important work, and no nobler profession.
Congratulations to our newest officers, and welcome to the NYPD!
So far this year, the men and women of this department have delivered historic lows in gun violence and murders, and driven major crime down in all five boroughs.
Our strategy is working: go after gangs, take guns off our streets, and put cops where they are needed the most.
Join us in celebrating the graduation of New York City’s newest police officers. teapaw.org/i/broadcasts/2rJqvapPP…

When a police officer or firefighter dies in the line of duty, the entire city comes together.
For those families experiencing unimaginable grief, life is never the same.
Today, I joined those families at the Police and Fire Line of Duty Widows luncheon. For 65 years, this organization has created a community that continues to show up for one another, year after year.
It reminds all of us in the NYPD that our responsibility to these families is not measured in the days after a tragedy, but in the years that follow.
May the memories of their loved ones always be a blessing.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
After travelling over 200 miles, America's most famous tree has arrived at @rockcenternyc to help kick off the holiday season!
Thanks to our law enforcement partners and the NYPD Highway Unit for making this special delivery!

It was an honor to celebrate the 251st birthday of the @USMC today at One Police Plaza.
Today, nearly 600 Marines serve in the NYPD, bringing with them the honor, courage, and commitment that are the core values of their military service.
Thank you for what you’ve given to our country and for what you continue to give to New York City. Semper Fi.

Power has been restored to the affected areas of Brooklyn, and most traffic signals are operating normally. If you encounter a traffic signal that is still not working, use caution at the intersection and report it to 311.
We are coordinating with Con Edison and investigating a power disruption in Flatbush, Brooklyn, that may affect several thousand customers. There are also reports of traffic signals being disrupted in the area.
Use extra caution at intersections with nonworking traffic signals:
Drivers should treat nonworking traffic lights as stop signs. Come to a complete stop and yield before proceeding, unless directed otherwise by emergency personnel.
Pedestrians should use crosswalks, look in all directions, and wait until traffic has stopped before crossing. Do not assume drivers will stop.
Cyclists should slow down, be prepared to stop, and yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Watch for vehicles approaching from all directions.
Drivers and cyclists must stop for pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks when signals are not operating.
Report malfunctioning traffic signals to 311.
Call 911 for immediate life safety concerns.
