It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our own Sergeant Latisha Keirsey. She was a beloved friend, colleague and a talented supervisor. Sergeant Keirsey truly was an inspiration in the lives of so many! May God grant her eternal peace.

I had the privilege of meeting Andre Braugher while he was filming a Law & Order episode here in the city a few years back... as my awkward fan girl mumbling was coming to a conclusion, he suddenly yelled “NINE-NINE!”... it remains my fondest memory of working in that bldg 😂

Today we mourn the loss of one of our own. Police Officer Jason Rivera was murdered in the line of duty while responding to a domestic violence call. He was just 22 years old. We vow today, and always, to #NeverForget him and the ultimate sacrifice he made.

Great job by our officers and detectives arresting the man who snatched a purse from a 56 y/o woman on Smith St yesterday morning. This man, who was previously arrested for 6 similar incidents, many involving elderly victims, was released without bail by a judge today. @NYPDShea
