NYPD Cop Life in the 1970's vs 80's vs 90's vs Today | Experts By Decade | Daily Mail

This is our brand new show - tells us what you think in the comments below!

I bet the first 2 cops from the the 70's till the 90's have a lot of stories to tell what a time to be a cop in NY

During 9/11 we were all Americans even the criminals understood to stand down for a week or so

“When you had the sirens on, did people get out of the way for you? “ “Never” 2:44 😂

The police woman describing the rumbler 😂

Would be cool to see how the LAPD has changed over the years as well

Man, the 60's cop cracks me up😂, "we didn't call em demostic terrorism, they we're 'political disturbances'"😂 and the other stuff he said earlier. Damn dude, he's been through it

“Did you ever pull your gun?” 80s-90s cop: “Every day.”

The Glocks had bad trigger pull’s because NYC wanted it that way. They normally don’t. I’m 60, retire from a Michigan department, working armed security at a hospital ER. I still have the crease in my sleeves, spit shined boot and the old school mustache 😅

I was LAPD in the 90’s. The NYPD sent a delegation of their command staff to LA to check out our LAPD blue uniforms. At that time, the color, badges etc were trademarked by the city of Los Angeles. NYPD saw the blue uniforms and made the change in the 90’s after seeing our uniforms.

first guy started with 13k in 1971, thats over 100k today. second guy started with 35k in 1986 which is also around 100k today. the woman started with 34k in 2003 which is under 60k today.

Thank you so much for posting that video. I served from 1982 at the age of 20 through 2002, retiring as a Lieutenant in Narcotics. So many memories and shared experiences I remembered with at least two of the three Lieutenants interviewed. My Detectives used to brag about having an LT that had to constantly clean ear wax off the front sight of his duty pistol. I took that as a badge of pride. The RMP modifications, the uniform memories, 9/11 stories all resonated deeply within me. I will say this, I wore the light blue, dark blue, and white uniform shirts. Every single day I wore a newly cleaned and pressed shirt, and usually fresh trousers as well. There was only one exception and that was 9/11. Spent three days in the same uniform and pants, and put them away in plastic when I finally got to take them off. There were people embedded in those clothes, and I never forgot that.

We need FDNY version

I know some refer to it as the greatest show on earth, and then I say that some of us even had a backstage pass. NYPD 1983-2003 !

as someone who is wanting to go into the job seeing this just helps. getting different views from 3 different generations of cops helps. wanna thank everyone of them for there service.

I find it hard to believe that the female cop in 20 years of service - in NYC of all places - never pulled her gun

Very cool to see all the minor details like the smell of the car and the rumbling. Lots of details you wouldn't get from anywhere else. Great interviews

In 1969, my 7 year old brother got lost at the Rambles in Central Park. My dad and I looked all over. We found him with an NYPD officer, who offered him ice cream while they waited. It’s the small things they do that make a big difference.

My pop actually worked the foster and Laurie case. That’s how my dad became a detective

I own a legit NYPD 115 Pcnt DT SAP 2008 Ford Crown Vic. I bought it for 3k at 64k miles last august when i got rid of my old 06 SEL taurus and the Vic besides its plastic intake issue and other common issues? Its the best thing you can keep running for YEARS!!!! I plan to keep it forever.
