In 2023, the counterterrorism and intelligence bureaus were put together as one bureau, which is commanded by Deputy Commissioner Rebecca Ulam Weiner.[4][5] The Bureau has 2 divisions under the domain of Intelligence Division and Counterterrorism Division, each division is commanded by an Assistant/Deputy Chief.
Critical Response Command (CRC) is one of the Department's first lines of defense against a terrorist-related attack. A permanent cadre of hand-selected police officers devoted to counterterrorism, CRC members are trained to respond swiftly, with sufficient expertise and force, to the most highly organized and heavily armed attacks. All CRC team members are trained in special weapons and long-range guns, explosive trace detection, radiological and nuclear awareness, biological and chemical weapons awareness, and are equipped with the skills to detect an impending attack and utilize the best possible response to an emerging situation. The team conducts daily counterterrorism deployments to critical infrastructure sites throughout New York City, saturating strategic locations with a uniform presence to disrupt and deter terrorist planning and hostile surveillance operations.[1]
The counterterrorism division oversees a range of activities including:[1]
The JTTF is a national security force which includes both members of the NYPD and the FBI, and operates both within New York City and globally. This partnership allows nationally classified documents to be used by the NYPD, and for local information to be shared at the national level.[1][3]
The Terrorism Threat Analysis Group is responsible for the analysis and sharing of intelligence to various agencies including other police departments.[1][3]
The World Trade Center command provides security around the World Trade Center.[1]
