He also served as Police Commissioner under Mayor David N. Dinkins from 1992-1994. In 2002, Commissioner Kelly created the first counterterrorism bureau of any municipal police department in the country. He also established a new global intelligence program and stationed New York City detectives in eleven foreign cities. Under Kelly’s leadership, the NYPD lowered violent crime by 40 percent from 2001 levels, while also dedicating extensive resources to the successful prevention of any future terrorist attacks. Commissioner Kelly established the Real Time Crime Center, a state-of-the-art facility that uses data mining to search millions of computer records and puts investigative leads into the hands of detectives in the field. These department-wide improvements have served as the model for other law enforcement agencies around the world. Currently, Commissioner Kelly serves as president of Cushman & Wakefield’s Risk Management Services Division, a position created specifically for him. As president, Commissioner Kelly focuses on helping clients identify potential vulnerabilities, as well as prepare for and manage risk across a number of critical areas, including physical and cyber security intelligence, crisis management, and emergency preparedness. He is also a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and an ABC News consultant. In addition to twice serving as the New York City Police Commissioner, his career in public service includes directing the International Police Force in Haiti (appointed by then President Bill Clinton), serving as a vice president of Interpol from 1996-2000, commissioner of the U.S. Customs Service and undersecretary of enforcement at the U.S. Treasury Department. As commissioner of the U.S. Customs Service, he managed the agency's 20,000 employees and $20 billion in annual revenue. For his accomplishments, Commissioner Kelly was awarded the Alexander Hamilton Medal for Exceptional Service. As undersecretary for Enforcement at the U.S. Treasury Department (the third highest post in the department at the time), he supervised the department’s enforcement bureaus including the U.S. Customs Service, the U.S. Secret Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. For his service as director of the International Police Monitors in Haiti, Commissioner Kelly was i awarded the Exceptionally Meritorious Service Commendation by the President of the United States. In the private sector, Commissioner Kelly served as senior managing director of global corporate security at Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. A 43-year veteran of the NYPD, Commissioner Kelly served in twenty-five different commands before being named police commissioner. He was appointed to the New York City Police Department in 1963. Shortly thereafter he accepted a commission to the United States Marine Corps Officer Program. He served on active military duty for three years including a combat tour in Vietnam. He returned to the police department in 1966 and entered the New York City Police Academy, graduating with the highest combined average for academics, physical achievement and marksmanship. He was also a member of the inaugural class of the New York City Police Cadet Corps for three years while a student at Manhattan College. During his tenure time in the NYPD, Kelly received fourteen citations of merit for outstanding police work. Commissioner Kelly retired as a Colonel from the Marine Corps Reserves after thirty years of service. Commissioner Kelly holds a B.B.A. from Manhattan College, a J.D. from St. John's University School of Law, an L.L.M. from New York University Graduate School of Law and an M.P.A. from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He has been awarded honorary degrees from the Catholic University of America, Manhattan College, St. John’s University, the State University of New York, the College of St. Rose, Iona College, Marist College, New York University, Pace University, Quinnipiac University, and St. Thomas Aquinas College. In September 2006, Commissioner Kelly was awarded France’s highest decoration, the Legion D’Honneur, by then French Minister of the Interior Nicholas Sarkozy.

So how will we know if he has succeeded? If nothing happens. By Craig Horowitz Reprinted from New York Magazine, http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/features/n_8286/, last visited April 8, 2016. Buried deep in the heart of one of New York's outer boroughs, in an area inhabited by junkyards and auto-body shops, is an unmarked redbrick building that stands as an extraordinary symbol of police commissioner Ray Kelly's obsessive commitment to the fight against terrorism. Here, miles from Manhattan, is the headquarters of the NYPD's one-year-old counterterrorism bureau. When you step through the plain metal door at the side of the building, it is like falling down the rabbit hole—you're transported from a mostly desolate, semi-industrial area in the shadow of an elevated highway into the new, high-tech, post-9/11 world of the New York City Police Department. The place is so gleaming and futuristic—so unlike the average police precinct, with furniture and equipment circa 1950—that you half expect to see Q come charging out with his latest super-weapon for 007. Headlines race across LED news tickers. There are electronic maps and international-time walls with digital readouts for cities such as Moscow, London, Tel Aviv, Riyadh, Islamabad, Manila, Sydney, Baghdad, and Tokyo. In what is called the Global Intelligence Room, twelve large flat-screen TVs that hang from ceiling mounts broadcast Al-Jazeera and a variety of other foreign programming received via satellite. The Police Department's newly identified language specialists— who speak, among other tongues, Arabic, Pashto, Urdu, and Fujianese—sit with headphones on, monitoring the broadcasts. There are racks of high-end audio equipment for listening, taping, and dubbing; computer access to a host of superdatabases; stacks of intelligence reports and briefing

Writing in the pages of the New 25 York Times, Sperry argued that any future terrorist offender is likely to be young, 26 male and Muslim: 27 Young Muslim men bombed the London tube, and young Muslim men attacked New 28 York with planes in 2001. From everything we know about the terrorists who may be 29 taking aim at our transportation system, they are most likely to be young Muslim men.1 30 It makes no sense, Sperry contends, to search old ladies or children. Instead, the 31 police should target the high-risk population. Profiling, Sperry writes, is ‘based on 32 statistics. Insurance companies profile policyholders based on probability of risk. 33 That’s just smart business. Likewise, profiling passengers based on proven security 34 risk is just smart law enforcement.’2 A similar column appeared in the Washington 35 Post the next day, arguing that ‘politically correct screenings won’t catch Jihadists’: 36 37 It is a simple statistical fact.

WEST *Counsel of Record COUNTERSTATEMENT OF QUESTIONS PRESENTED Petitioners are part of a putative class of protesters who were arrested for blocking vehicular traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge during an unpermitted protest march. Undisputed video footage shows hundreds of protesters swarming onto and blocking traffic on the Bridge’s roadway. This followed a standoff between protesters and a thin line of police officers stationed at the entrance to the roadway, which ended when officers retreated in the face of the chanting crowd after bullhorn announcements went unheeded, even by protesters right nearby. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit found that petitioners’ § 1983 claims for false arrest were properly dismissed, because police had probable cause to arrest them for obstructing active traffic on a major arterial roadway. The question presented is: Were petitioners’ arrests supported by probable cause on these distinctive facts, where undisputed video footage showed protesters thronging onto an active vehicular roadway, and where police officers’ retreat from the roadway entrance in the face of the insistent, chanting crowd had not clearly conveyed express or implied sanction for doing so?

For a Judgment Pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules --------------------------------------------------------------)( PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. This Article 78 proceeding seeks to vindicate the right of the public to learn basic facts about the work of high-level public officials. The petitioner Leonard Levitt is a journalist who has reported about the New York City Police Department for decades. Following reporting he did about extensive and previously unknown meetings that NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly had held at the Harvard Club in New York City, Mr. Levitt sought under the Freedom of Information Law copies of Mr. Kelly's schedule to uncover information about Mr. Kelly's meetings since becoming police commissioner in January 2002. The NYPD denied the request entirely. The New York Civil Liberties Union then filed an appeal on behalf of Mr. Levitt, and the department likewise denied that appeal. In doing so, it primarily asserted that none of Commissioner Kelly's schedule for the last ten years could be disclosed because doing so could endanger the commissioner as well as those with whom he had met. 2. Commissioner Kelly is the most important appointed government official in New York City government. He commands the largest police department in the country, his accomplishments have been recognized internationally, and the prospect of his running to serve as the next mayor ofN ew York City has been widely discussed.
