Abstract
THE NEW YORK CITY AUXILIARY POLICE FORCE CONSISTS OF OVER 5,000 UNIFORMED MEN AND WOMEN PARTICIPATING IN CRIME PREVENTION ACTIVITIES. THIS PAPER LOOKS AT THE SUPERVISION AND ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITS, AND AUXILIARY QUALIFICATIONS, UNIFORM, TRAINING, AND DUTIES, AS WELL AS LIMITATIONS OF POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. IN ADDITION TO STREET PATROL, THESE UNITS ASSIST IN RECRUITING, AUGMENT REGULAR POLICE AT SPECIAL EVENTS, AND USE SPECIAL TALENTS SUCH AS PHOTOGRAPHY AND LECTURING. THERE ARE ALSO FIFTEEN EMERGENCY SQUADS.
