Jessica S. Tisch(@NYPDPC):Today, the NYPD welcomed the newest members of the Emergency Service Unit — officers who earned their place in one of the most elite units in the country. Their work demands discipline, judgment, physical endurance, technical skill, and the ability to remain calm in the most intense situations. From hostage rescues to collapsed buildings, ESU handles some of the most complex and dangerous jobs in this city. When the public needs help, they call the police, and when the police need help, they call ESU. When that call comes, these new members of ESU will be there to answer it.
