LED deputies also serve a wide variety of legal process within orders with orders of protections being out being considered our highest priority.

I mentioned these essential responsibilities and essential services because most New Yorkers really have no understanding of the wide range of services we perform every day.

That is because to most New Yorker, our members are largely associated with COVID 19 enforcement and as most recent time, with ongoing operation shutdown of illegal cannabis shop known as operation potlakh.
