After the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001, many of you responded, with enthusiasm, to assist the Department and your fellow citizens at sites throughout the city. Thousands of retired members responded to a follow-up survey, indicating a willingness to help under any circumstances. You showed that even in retirement your heart remained with your fellow officers and the City you served.

We want to offer more information to our retired members and solicit your assistance for future events. Your training, dedication and experience proved invaluable after 9/11 and can certainly be an asset in the future.

On this website there will be answers to your frequently asked questions (FAQ’s) about the job, volunteering and retirement support. A secured section allows you to provide or update contact information in the event you wish to assist the Department during an emergency.

I invite you to explore the links page, which contains resources that may assist you with post career issues and to remind you that your connection to the Department doesn’t end when you turn in your shield.
