When I Had The Job Of Police

I Liked The Military Life. They Teach You Self-sufficiency Early On. I Always Say That I Learned Most Of What I Know About Leadership In The Marine Corps. Certain Basic Principles Stay With You - Sometimes Consciously, Mostly Unconsciously.

No Other Agency Is Scrutinized Like The Police. Everything We Do Is In A Goldfish Bowl. We Are Not The Most Popular People In Society. We Do Things Like Use Deadly Force; We're The Bearers Of Bad News. We're Not Firefighters, Who Are Viewed As Heroic, Helping People, With People Loving Them Back. The Police Have A Much More Complex And Demanding Job.

I Think One Of The Biggest Scams In Law Enforcement Is The Monitor.

New York Is Safer Than It Has Been - And It's Getting Safer. But It's Never Safe. As The Financial And Communications Capital Of The World, This Is Where Terrorists Want To Make A Statement, Where They Get The Most Bang For The Buck.

I Think I've Had A Long, Distinguished Career In Public Service. It Just Goes To Show You What Some Politicians Will Do. They'll Say Or Do Anything To Get Elected. I Know All These People. They All Claimed To Be Friends Of Mine Up Until Their Mayoral Campaigns. They'd Call Me On The Phone And Ask For Information Or Come Over Here And Sit In This Chair To Get Briefed.
