The New York Police Department is an iconic symbol of one of the world's most famous cities. The blue uniforms of the men and women who serve on the force have long stood for integrity and heroism in the work to serve and protect the city's residents. And yet, as in any large public organization, the NYPD has also suffered its share of corruption, political shenanigans, and questionable leadership. In The NYPD's First Fifty Years Bernard Whalen, himself a long-serving NYPD lieutenant, and his father, Jon, consider the men and women who have contributed to the department's past, both positively and less so. Starting with the official formation of the NYPD in 1898, they examine the commissioners, politicians, and patrolmen who during the next fifty years left a lasting mark on history and on one another. In the process, they also explore the backroom dealings, the hidden history, and the relationships that set the scene for the modern NYPD that so proudly serves the city today.

A lo largo de los últimos doscientos años, Nueva York ha sido escenario de miles de delitos y crímenes de todo tipo: asesinatos fríamente calculados, robos espectaculares, matanzas mafiosas, atentados devastadores, casos memorables que contribuyeron a mejorar la metodología policial, psicópatas desatados... Sin su faceta más oscura, no podría entenderse el espíritu de una ciudad que ha contribuido más que ninguna otra al imaginario colectivo sobre el mundo criminal.Este libro reúne una impresionante colección de casos extraídos directamente de los archivos del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York que, por una u otra razón, han pasado a la historia. Escritos por expertos en el tema, todos estos relatos van acompañados de imágenes pocas veces vistas: fotografías de escenas del crimen, retratos de fichas policiales, dibujos realizados durante juicios mediáticos y pruebas incriminatorias.
