I was sworn into the New York
City Police Department July 15,
1986 and retired October 14,
2004. I worked the majority of
my career within the 46 Precinct,
Bronx County. The Precinct
covered an area that is just a bit
larger than one and a quarter
square mile.  At one time it was
deemed the busiest square mile
on the face of the earth for its
high crime rate.





Of the 20+ years that I worked
law enforcement for the City of
New York 11 of those years I
was actively  assigned to the
"street". The rest of my working
years were prior non active law
enforcement, physical injuries,  
personal commitments/
hardships, etc. During the 11
years I personally made in
excess of 1,200 arrests and
assisted on an additional 3,000+
arrests. These arrests resulted
in the seizure of over 130 loaded
firearms, $200,000+ in United
States Currency,  hundreds of
pounds of marijuana, crack,
cocaine and heroin.
