# NYPD

> What officers have, how the MDT works, and how cases get built.

The NYPD operates out of the **Harlem Precinct** (blip on). Officers go on duty through `F6`, gear up in the locker rooms and pull vehicles from the precinct fleet garage.

## Equipment

Cuffs, zipties, taser cartridges, tracker darts and GPS trackers, ankle monitors, ballistic shields, drones, K9, LIDAR, body cams, road props (cones, spikes, flares, barriers, signs), pepper spray and tactical gas.

## MDT

The tablet holds dispatch, warrants, records, the penal code, live officer tracking and the evidence system. `F10` is the notebook for on-scene notes.

## Dispatch

Calls come from citizens (phone), from crimes in progress (shots fired, robberies, suspicious activity) and from other officers. Police and EMS don't generate routine alerts for each other — only officer down and panic.

## Evidence

Shell casings, projectiles, blood, fingerprints, saliva and GSR can be collected at a scene and processed at the **precinct forensics lab** (centrifuge, DNA, fingerprint, ballistics, collision). Results attach to MDT cases. Suspects can be mugshotted and their belongings logged.

## Radio

  Respawning after death sends officers to the hospital like everyone else, not the precinct.
