COMPUTER AND VIDEO GAMES

In computer and video games, the NYPD's special units are called "SWAT", this is probably a mistake made with purpose, as the real special units of the NYPD are the ESU (Emergency Service Unit). Some games that feature the New York City Police Department are:

  • '' Max Payne ''.

  • ''''.

  • '' Parasite Eve ''.

  • ''''.

  • '' Spider-Man (video Game) ''.

  • '' Grand Theft Auto III '', as the "Liberty City Police Department"; the LCPD's patch is almost the same of the NYPD, with the exception that the words "Liberty City" are written in the patch instead of "City Of New York".

  • ''''. Here, all the police cars have a NYPD patch in their front doors, regardless the city you're in (even if the patch is not totally visible, it can be identified as the one of the NYPD).

  • ''''.

  • '' Syphon Filter 2 ''. In the last levels, as a consequence of a laboratory blown up, and a big shootout between the Agency operatives and Gabe Logan , the NYPD SWAT (ESU) unit was called to duty, however, a lot of them were killed by the Agency snipers. Gabe cooperates with a female SWAT officer, helping her to get rid of the snipers (the SWAT officer is a playable character in multiplayer mode in both, Syphon Filter 2 and Syphon Filter 3). The police cars are visible too in those levels, they were a lot like the old NYPD blue squad cars; the only difference being the words "CITY POLICE" written in the doors instead of "NYPD POLICE", the words that were in the real cars.



NYPD MOVIE/TV UNIT

Most of the actors playing the parts of the officers are real police officers assigned to the NYPD Movie/TV Unit.

Founded in 1966, the NYPD Movie/TV Unit was the first of its kind in the country. Because it was the first, the Unit has the greatest knowledge on how to assist productions, particularly with complex shooting situations, in a City that is dense with vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In addition to this expertise, their services are free to productions filming in the City.

Whether it's filming on bridges, highways, or busy intersections, the Unit controls traffic to ensure that companies can get shots that may otherwise be impossible. In addition, the City's many police related shows, such as Law & Order and Third Watch, generate "crime Scenes" which are supervised by the Movie/TV Unit. The Unit's responsibilities do not end there; they also monitor child work permits, stunts, prop firearms, placement of equipment, pedestrian safety and parking.

While filming on busy New York City streets presents countless challenges, the Unit has, over the years, developed a strong working relationship with the film industry. The unit makes effort to ensure that New York City remains a popular location for filming.
