NYPD 44th Precinct... The Good Old Days... Thanks Andy...

[sexxxyricanqt4u]

There is nothing like the brotherhood shared by the "old school" cops. That was when brothers in blue truly were united. It's nothing like that now. Awesome video!

[SendinK9]

@sexxxyricanqt4u I agree, it all changed after 911, sometimes I think the terrorist have won...

[onthaarm]

Although its a bit late, Happy retirement Ray (your locker neighbor E). Ray, can we still get the P.B.A cards through you.....LOL. Enjoy and i hope to see you and the guys at a reunion party. One last word, please keep all our brothers and sister that haved past in your prayers. To my partner Jose, I miss you greatly brother.

Lookin back, There was no greater honor, then wearing the "44" collar brass.I started with the winter 94 crew and we had just lost Sean. I thank all the brothers that paved the way before us (all the guys in the video and then some). You guys paved down respect on the streets and through the N.Y.P.D. When the shit hit the fan in the city, the 44 was thrown in the front line, but when it was a pretty detail, we where in the back. I miss you all, especially our brothers that have passed.

[jnasty168]

[chaki79]

you guys look like a real tight bunch heard the 44 is a tight house wish my house was like that

[nilo824]

Ray's missing his toothpick!!! Hoping he's enjoying his retirement.. Ray, Petey G and Billy Pappas were the best CPOP cops lol...

[irishkevin44]

Was it mandatory for EVERY white officer to have a mustache?

[28404354]

This was the finest group of guys you will ever meet..Humor is a terrific intoxicant. There is no B.S. in those pics, thats how they were..I remember once the boys were not crazy about a new Sergeant that was shipped in...He liked doing things by the book..The boys unfortunately burned the book..One of them rode a confiscated dirt bike up the front steps into the building and in front of the desk did a donut dropping a pack of firecracker and then rode back down the steps with the Sgt chasing..

1:57 good shot of an old friend- Marty may he rest in peace.....

[SendinK9]

Actually thinking about it, that may have been Al Morales in the building. In any event it was a sad story and may they both Rest In Peace...

[ballbag120]

God I miss the old powder blue shirts and the days when the job was fun. I remember leaving my house an hour or two early just to go the pct and hang out with the guys. What incredible days those were. I used to LOVE going to work. Now I'm counting the days till I'm paroled from the abortion that this job has become. I miss the simpler times. No compstat. No C summonses. No mincromanaging. No excessive discipline. Nowadays there are D.I.'s, Inspectors and even Cheifs getting charges.

[dan2008ireland]

they looklike some god times boys, go 44 yous guys rule i hope to some time join yous in the future, please god ... ciao

[jimmynorton1001]

when cops could be cops

[TwistedJr69th]

congrats on the retirement. Looks you guys had some fun in those days. Thats awesome. Great Job boys in the 44th.

[NYPD115]

My uncle and grandfather were both cops in the 44 back in the day. Cool video.

[Stimuli2000]

At 1:27, I would assume that's a roll call, maybe 4x12?  Wow, that's a real roll call. Nowadays, we're lucky if we got 7 bodies @ roll call in housing.

[PAULIE5412]

Congrats Ray. It is amazing how fast life goes. Never forget the 44 MOS who have passed away! Remember Capt Livio ?? May god bless all of us in our retirement.

Paul Thordsen ( knows )

[Pigpen3612]

Although never in the 44 I enjoyed the video very much. It brought me back to my days in the 77. Makes me wish I had taken a few photos over the years.

[mroot90]

great video, i was way to young to remember those days, however my uncle sgt.joe torelli was there...

[IRONBUB]

mroot90- your uncle Joe was a constant on the Precinct desk when i was in the 44 in the 80s. He was a good man!!!

[scooter6289]

Wow....What a great flood of memories after seeing these pics. I was in squad 4 and always looked forward to working with squad 7, a lot of laughs boy. You guys were a cast of characters. RIP Marty and Al !! Ray, enjoy your retirement !!

..........The Four-Four was made of brick and mortar. To the men and women who passed through those doors, we all are forever bound. For our hearts all beat with one sound, and that is Four-Four forever, forever Four-Four......-Duff-
