- The detective squad consists of a lieutenant, a sergeant, and 10 detectives, totaling 12 people
- Detectives support all DOI investigations, but do not oversee the NYPD
- They serve as guides and mentors to younger investigators, especially in areas like surveillance
- The detectives assist with search warrant executions, arrests, and other operations
- A new group of detectives joined at the beginning of the year, which has been working well

Okay.

In terms of the loan, I know you heard earlier, council member Wessler, but how many investigators in terms of loan are from NYPD?
1:21:09
And I guess what they don't do is oversee NYPD, but what do they do?
Jocelyn E. Strauber

Oh, so so now you're talking about our detective squad.
1:21:17
Right?
1:21:17
We have we have a detective squad at DOI that is currently, we have a lieutenant and a sergeant and I believe 10 detectives for a total of 12 people.
1:21:29
Just checking that I that I had that right.
1:21:31
And they support all of our investigations.
1:21:34
You know, they they first of all, they're they're great sort of guides and mentors to younger investigators who don't have experience with things like doing surveillance.
1:21:42
And they, you know, help run down information for us.
1:21:45
They help us with the execution of search warrants, which is not something that we can do on our own without other law enforcement officers.
1:21:53
They help with arrests and other operations, and they are working with squads across the agency.
1:21:58
We have a whole group of new folks who came in, really at the beginning of this year, and that's been working very well.
1:22:06
And they they don't oversee the police department, as you say, but they do everything else.
Gale Brewer

Okay.
