NOTE  I corrected the misinformation on the NYPD page   NYPD never had  helicopters   is the largest number since they first started using them in the s   The current sworn officer stats change daily and come from the Office of Deputy Commissioner for Public Information NYPD Pau Browne  Dont confuse number of sworn officers with authorized strength  NYPD is well below authorized numbers   Also changed were the number of police stations   Precincts in NYC not   These are the numbered precints precincts of record and do not include special units like Highway Patrol Mounted ESU Aviation etc  Police boat numbers also change from season to season  more in summer  Current listing is an average for the whole year
