- Instagram: NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry on Instagram: "@abc7ny did a fantastic job of bringing this story to the public. The horrific details of this home invasion within the confines of the 111th Precinct would give anyone chills. But this is also a fine example of the capabilities of New York’s Finest. From the 911 operator who took the call, to the patrol officers who responded, the drone pilots who launched despite inclement weather, the specially trained operators of our Emergency Service Unit, and ultimately the leadership team that coordinated these assets, this is exactly why the NYPD is renowned worldwide. I also want to thank @cmvpaladino for recognizing these officers on behalf of the community they serve. This acknowledgment goes a long way. We are proud to serve the city and are prepared to take on any task asked of us. @nypd @nypdpc @nypdfirstdep @nypdchiefofdept @nypdchiefpatrol"
