NYPD Wants a More "Humane" ESU Cop

[Architect 24]

Quote

Out is the emphasis on specialty units, such as Emergency Services, whose officers rescue people and barge through doors to arrest criminals.

In is an emphasis on a more humane officer.

“You will still be in one of those units if you are fit to do so,” said Assistant Chief Kim Royster. “But we want you to realize you are here to serve the community, and we want you to engage the community.

While I have no problem with setting standards for jobs, it should be noted that Assistant Chief Kim Royster spent the majority of her career in 1 Police Plaza, and I mean that literarily.

She was a cop assigned to patrol for only a short time and was assigned to 1 Police Plaza. After making boss, she was reassigned to 1PP, and with each subsequent advance, she stayed there, or worked in some other 1PP outpost such as the old academy.
I am not saying I have all the answers, I do not.
But, I would like to say it is nice to hear such "experienced" street cops tell everyone else how it should be done.

What would happen if the old cherry wood night stick made a comeback< it kept bad guys at bay and intiminated folks and was something that could repel a quick attack as was the case with the old lady in the BX.

That might not be considered "humane". Lol.

Just like when they took the "aluminum (4 D cell) kel lights" away from the LAPD and replaced them with plastic "Nerf lights" . 

They thought the aluminum lights could be used a a weapon.  Although they were quite bright and quite effective.
