As New York's chief law enforcement officer, I have taken a hard line against those in state government who abuse the law they have sworn to uphold.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
New York cops are very specific in terms of the way they talk and the way they handle themselves.
Every single day, we have hundreds, if not thousands of police officers protecting the lives of not just New Yorkers, but the millions who come to New York City to work and to vacation.
To be a police officer in New York requires so much more than just we, as a citizen, need to walk around. Your job is to put yourself in this place where a horrible event has happened and try to figure it out. That's what you do, day in and day out. You have to have a certain distance to it. You can't let yourself go too far into it.
The NYPD has too urgent a mission and too few officers for us to waste time and resources on broad, unfocused surveillance. We have a responsibility to protect New Yorkers from violent crime or another terrorist attack - and we uphold the law in doing so.
I've been a law-abiding citizen ever since I grew up in the Bronx, New York.
As the state's chief law enforcement officer, it's my job to see that perpetrators of fraud are brought to justice.
New Yorkers must be able to trust the men and women of the NYPD. They must come forward to report crimes. And they must come forward as witnesses.
There are those who profess to support law enforcement but who have attempted to undermine the efforts of hard-working officers who make difficult decisions.
There's only so much you can do with an attorney on a show that's about New York policemen.
I've definitely run from the cops in the New York City subways.
