| New York Police Department Sends Team to Moscow |
| 2004-02-07 |
| Hours after a deadly blast ripped through a Moscow subway, the New York Police Department announced it is sending a team of officers to the Russian capital. This is not the first time the New York Police Department has sent units outside of the United States, as part of recent counter-terrorism efforts. Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, New York police have traveled to Britain, Canada and Israel. The New York Police Department said in a statement that the team’s mission is to "observe and gather information on the Moscow subway bombing." The team of New York police will consist of officers from New York’s intelligence division and transit bureau. |

| #4 I'm sure the NYPD will review the evidence of how the Moscow bombing happened in order to make it more difficult to do something like that in NYC. |

| #3 I'm thinking the NYPD want to see what a blast in a subway car looks like. |

| #2 Forgive it - for all the police brutality complaints and "unjustified shooting" wolf-cries from certain minorities in the Bronx and Queens, the NYPD is one of the world's largest and most capable police departments; it alone has three times the manpower of the Canadian military (at 38,000-41,000 to 11,500), body armor is not only the norm but mandatory for all policemen, and with their unfettered access to Interpol databases (special arrangement), I can see how their expertise would be particularly in demand ... |

| #1 Just NY? That's short-sighted of the rest of the country. |
