Cops raid home 50x looking for other people

You'd think after the first 15 or so someone at the NYPD would've noticed something was amiss. :shocked:

The cops are from different precincts. Apparently a lot of bad guys are using their address as theirs when they talk to people. Like identity theft.

It' still one overall NYPD. The separate precincts don't operate in a vacuum. Someone should've taken notice at some point.

You'd think. I work in an office where we all pretty much do the same job. Yet there are times when the guy in the cube right next to me doesn't know what the guy in the cube on the other side is doing.

Scoff if you like. One day, these two will be indicted in the biggest underground ring of Geritol and Depends ever discovered.

It's pretty much the only way to get away with masturbating at work these days.

From a department with only 5 precincts, I can tell you that there is VERY little communication amongst us, with regards to the dirties living in the various sites, insofar as Patrol division is concerned, at least. Consider: NYPD is divided up into 8 boroughs (Brooklyn, the Bronx and Manhattan are divided in half). Each borough has 13 precincts. Food for thought...

Also, it is a VERY common practice for dirties to use addresses that either a) straight up don't exist or b) belong to a friend of a family member or various degrees of separation like that.

I feel bad for the family living there - the dispatchers should be able to put a flag on that address, advising that it's residents are elderly and NOT harboring fugitives from justice. I know if MY department can, NYPD should be able to...

I was hoping you or Frankie would chime in. So you can see this happening. But 50 times?

Yeah, 50 times is a touch excessive, even for a department as bloated as NYPD. In ours, whenever we have a recurring condition on an address that results in less-than-fun times for police, usually a mental patient with specifically annoying/dangerous tendencies, we "flag" the address. This lets anyone responding know what to expect before they arrive, and hopefully ensures that the correctly trained officer responds (A Crisis Intervention Team officer, trained in how to talk to those "in crisis", where another officer with less patience might respond inappropriately, for example)

I fail to see how someone, SOMEWHERE didn't pass this along in a department-wide e-mail amongst investigators. It might honestly be that the department is too large for effective communication like that.

well, you think since 2002, someone should have put up a flag (mark the address or something) and even after a letter 2 years ago. That is a tad bit much.
