Advance Programs and Technology to Prevent Violent Crime, Thwart Terrorism, and Safeguard the People of our City

The New York City Police Foundation has a long history of supporting the NYPD’s work with the community to solve crimes. For more than 40 years, the Police Foundation has supported the NYPD Crime Stoppers Program, which helps solve violent crimes by offering cash rewards for anonymous tips that lead to the arrest and indictment of violent felons wanted by law enforcement.

Similarly, Operation Gun Stop has led to the recovery of over 5,100 illegal firearms, with more than $3.3 million in rewards approved to date, helping to reduce gun violence and improve public safety across NYC.

Through the Foundation-sponsored International/Domestic Liaison Program (IDLP), NYPD intelligence officers stationed in major cities around the world gather and share critical intelligence on terrorism, transnational crime, and emerging threats, strengthening the Department’s ability to prevent and respond to risks facing New York City.

Information developed through the IDLP has enhanced officer training, improved response protocols, and enabled the sharing of actionable intelligence with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, including the Joint Terrorism Task Force, National Counterterrorism Center, and Drug Enforcement Administration.

• The Foundation also supports the NYPD’s Operation Sentry Conference and the International Leadership in Counter Terrorism (LinCT) Alumni Association Conference, promoting intelligence sharing, global collaboration, and counterterrorism best practices.

• The Foundation funded a customized Critical Skills for Intelligence Analysis training by Phillip Mudd, Former Deputy Director of the CIA Counterterrorist Center and FBI National Security Branch, for newly hired Intelligence Research Specialists 2016-2018. As a result of this valuable training, the Department continues to offer this specialized training in-house to new specialists.
