@@Birdylockso They also probably don't do much. They're out of their jurisdiction, which means they aren't actually allowed to work as police officers (their training is probably not on the same level as the training of the regular police they're embedded with, especially in European countries or Australia).
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo "their training is probably not on the same level as the training of the regular police they're embedded with, especially in European countries or Australia)."
Some how I think the NY trained cops will be much more trigger happy, so it's a good thing that they may not get to carry a gun while "chilling" in these posts. I do hope someone could enlighten us as to what they do in these postings.
4:02 the NYPD officers were probably equally as astonished when the Indonesian officers starting speaking Italian and making hand gestures 😂😂😂

Yeah and the names of the Indonesian officers who greeted them were Vinny, Pauly, Tony and Giani.

Speaking Malaya in New York accent which becomes trendy, known as Jarksel.
You know you're doing something wrong when the CIA & FBI and people who wants to defund the police are on the same side of an issue.
No police agency should work outside of their jurisdiction.
Why wouldn't it be useful for them to learn from other locations to help do a better job at home.?
Or maybe the FBI & CIA don't like the idea of having competition for executive force being applied outside of jurisdictions.
If the CIA has a problem with it, it's probably because they have their own terrorists or drug runners they worry NYPD officers will beat into a confession.
I think it's fine. Don't forget that NYC is the only megacity in the USA (LA is different and much smaller, it doesn't count) so there really isn't much to learn from domestically. IMO it makes perfect sense for cities at this kind of scale to work together to figure out how to tackle problems that are very much unique to them.
It's the other way around, if the CIA and FBI (aka mr overthrow your government and mr burn children alive) are saying you're doing something wrong, that's when you know you're doing something 100%, undeniably and objectively correct.
Ok. one question:
Liaising between police forces to cordinate law enforcement internationaly sounds like a generaly good idea.
But why does the NYPD have to do it on its own?
Wouldn't it be great if we could create an official organisation - 'cough' Interpol 'cough' - that would do that in a more formalised official and internationaly respected way, so that individual police forces don't have to do it themselfes?
The entitlement of such people
Because they are Americans and on top of that New Yorkers.
He gave several examples, including the "Mom", not to mention the CIA, FBI, Interpol,... NYPD being international is just a redundancy. This situation reminds of Sicario, where CIA agents need to dupe an FBI agent so they can "legally" operate between borders in Mexico.
Funny you should say that, Interpol has an international command & coordination office in Singapore.
Interpol is a global police database and not an actual law enforcement agency.
This deserved it's on full fledged video to be honest. The program, the funding and the roles the officers have is more than half, as interesting as you make it out to be.
Agreed ^
more than half?? but what, less than 100% as interesting? This comment makes no sense at all. How did 302 people agree I'm so confused
@@TeeGeeOfficial do you know the name of this channel...?
As someone who has worked for the federal government overseas, a couple of local cops trying to interact with the host nation government trying to act like they have some sort of authority absolutely blows my mind. It can cause so much confusion and so many nightmare scenarios that have real political consequences.
Sam, I think this is the weirdest thing you have ever told me about. I am a federal government contractor and I am extremely confused.
"federal government contractor" I love the vagueness of this phrase. The federal government has millions of different contracts across hundreds of different industries and practices. It could be anything! My favorite are the Tech Support Specialists for Raytheon. One week you can be in Waltham Ma and next you're at Point Marianne, British Indian Ocean Territory. Wild stuff

3:57 damn... I'm Indonesian and I wasn't aware the NYPD was there. Interesting fact: because of the Bali bombing, the Indonesian Police founded their own Anti Terrorism unit called Densus 88 (Special Detachment 88), through funding from the US and Australia. Fun fact: it was supposed to be called Densus ATA (Anti Terrorism Act), but the senior Indonesian official misheard it for "88", he agreed right away. Typical Asian culture, the other junior officials didn't dare correcting the guy 😂
You should make the local NYPD in your area violently aware they aren’t wanted there

Ok, I get it. An NYPD police officer caught a criminal fleeing from NY to Singapore. Great success.
We see it works great, so let’s scale it up, and have police officers from all major cities of the world, be stationed in all other cities in the world. So they can also catch criminals moving from London to Miami, Zurich to Mumbai, Beijing to Oslo etc…
What a great idea! But I’m still not convinced…

The office is there to gather information about terrorist activities in the region to prevent the terrorists reaching NY or other parts of US.

The USA would never tolerate other countries to station foreign cops in their country. The USA only seeks to establish soft/hard power in the nations where its police, secret service and military operate. Allowing the reverse would defeat the purpose.

All jokes aside, take a day to fully commit to attempting to notice all the generalizations we are flooded with on a daily basis. It's overwhelming. It's almost as if they don't want you to see the opposing side as human, as you are, but instead would rather label them as evil miscreants and anyone who even THINKS similar thoughts also falls under the same generalization and is equally bad. It's almost comical, you'll see people argue with a straight face that someone who holds conservative beliefs wants a gigantic authoritarian government controlling their every move. y'know, the people who constantly bitch about wanting as little govt as possible? As if that's not a gigantic oxymoron. But it's not just against conservatives, either, it's all across the board. We're reaching the endgame nowadays. Look at how people will refuse to even speak to someone whos ideas oppose them. I mean, if you're a gigantic, corrupt organization controlling the wealthiest nation in the world, I couldn't imagine youd wish for a population in any other state than how we are now. FAAAAAAAR easier to control the narrative and discredit and discourage any real critical thinking. Oh and, y'know, that pesky lil thing called unity. When the plebs realize they outnumber the elites. But that won't happen, not when everyone sees jimbo down the block as their real greatest threat and enemy.

It has been. And they're winning already. You've already been tricked to one side of another, and everyone's been shoved farther right than is normal, alternatively shoving some people far left without realizing which things are gonna work that are over in that range of politics or not. When the already corrupt government wants to take your rights, they don't do it where you can see for the most part, they don't do it with guns or laws that make the news, they do it with quiet bills passed through bribery in congress and propoganda everywhere else, and they've already engineered us to be unable to ever even have the principles of character that would allow us to rise up and change something. All hope isn't lost, but we're certainly farther from it than many believe, and not accepting that only makes it worse

I do think the idea of an international police exchange program would be pretty cool. Having police officers work in another country for a while seems like a good way to increase experience and compare different strategies and philosophies around policing. Difference is, they'd be essentially like foreign exchange students, under the authority and control of their host police force. Having police officers in other countries still under the authority of their home country (except under specific circumstances like border preclearance, international transit and mutual agreement) does sound like a recipe for trouble.
I'm worried at the prospect of global police more likely taking lessons from US cops than vice versa considering the whole global hegemon power dynamic at play
So you would have absolutely no problem being pulled over and arrested by a French or Mexican police officer in your hometown. Got it.
This happens all the time with something called “interpool”
@@dangerous1580 Exactly what I was going to mention.
@@dangerous1580 Does Interpol have an exchange program? I was not aware of one.
Watching this before the end and I'm thinking to myself isn't that what the FBI and CIA are for.
Nope, the FBI is for domestic federal crime and the CIA is for destabilizing any foreign country that is successfully doing socialism.
Why is everyone ignoring the state purpose that this allows them to learn from others and exchange methods and experiences. It could be beneficial from both sides. They aren't there to arrest people.
@@wyskass861 Except that… they are. A learning and cooperation programme is excellent, and most police departments worldwide would benefit from it. But that’s not what this is. This is literally putting officers in other countries and giving them the same powers as at home. And yes, it’s very much working outside their jurisdiction.
I’m pretty neutral on this issue, but I can definitely see why critics don’t like it.
@@12D_D21 "the same powers as at home" wtf are you talking about?
And why tf would 17 people agree with you??
They don't have the same powers as at home. They don't have any power in these foreign countries.
They solely rely on the local police voluntarily sharing information with them.
The NYPD officers don't have any power in foreign countries.
They are only there to exchange information with the local police.
@@wyskass861 There should be a police exchange program, run and funded by the DOJ and the State Department, and should embed in the police departments in the cities they are in, not privately funded and organized, and operating independently from the local police. If any other country did this to the US we would have a fit.
So... the NYPD is basically operating like if they were Interpol, without having any authority or international treaties to back them up to legally do so?
So sad to hear about Sam's suicide tomorrow night following the posting of this video.

As a South African I find it hard to believe there’s a police station here that outnumbers the NYPD. Heck, just calling any station is a pain, and it’s a running joke in the country that the stations can’t help you in a crisis because they don’t have vehicles available 😑

I mean, it is a good idea, but it should be broader. Rather than just the NYPD, there should be an INTERnational POLice organization of some type to share that kind of information between police agencies. But what would you call it?

The edits on these videos are truly next level.
As a Singaporean, we curb terrorism by removing trashcans in close proximity to our MRT stations to prevent MRT stations from being targets. The idea, I guess, is so that the MRT stations have less area to hide a black duffel bag containing definitely not cash. Not too sure what the NYPD can learn from this to apply to anti-terrorism and encourage littering, but 😁.
what they can learn is how to make nyc's metro system a more pleasant experience for riders
that explains the pile of smokes in all the bushes around the MRT stations, no trashcans near by :D
Does Singapore have the same culture of collective responsibility as Japan? Because I know in Japan you just take your would-be litter home to put in the garbage there, and North America has nowhere near the culture that would make that possible.
@@sblack53 No. I think we still have _some people_ who litter.
@@sblack53 just like in USA, canada, and basically 99% of other countries. Some dirtbags litter, others don't. Some follow no smoking signs, other don't.

Man, when the _CIA_ is telling you to chill out because you don't have jurisdiction in foreign countries, it's probably best to just go home and hope you're not in too much trouble already. I don't know much about this particular controversy but this program seems like a scandal waiting to happen.

It is not against the law. New officers need to live close to NYC in case of an emergency. It is a policy, not a law. Many live outside of the city.

So NYC, which has barely any penalty for violent crime and thus has a huge issue with rise of crime, stations their police in one of the safest countries that gives death penalty for weed.
Maybe this explains why so many people think I'm actually the NYPD when driving the NYPD car in Glasgow, Scotland.

Liaison, comes from de French word Liaison which means "connection" between two parties. And in french the letters "ai" together make the sound \ɛ\.
More facts to annoy my friends and family with.
If Batman can act as cop at night in Gotham City and catch the joker, I am pretty sure NYPD can find a joker on streets of Singapore, for chewing a gum.
I listened to The Power Broker on Audible - it was also very long.
Liaison is a french word and in french the first i sound like /e/ so it's the ai that makes the ia sound
While it seems like a crazy setup we can't really judge its usefulness without having the facts of what they have done over the years. If this liaison system has stopped or helped to stop even one terrorist attack or serious crime then surely it's worth it?
Sounds like a great plot for a movie starring Mark Wahlberg.
The NYPD is the Largest MUNICIPAL police dept in the world The Depts you listed as being bigger are NATIONAL Police.
I’m surprised they haven’t done a TV cop show with this.
Liaison is a French word that means connection. The ai part is pronounced eh, not ay. Taking your spelling mistake, induced by your American pronunciation, a step further, you could spell it leayzon.
I was a critic until I heard the FBI & CIA hate it. I've been a fan of many many many things those two agencies have historically hated.
You should hate it, because it’s resources they could use better protecting NYC
@@luaist I'm not a New Yorker and based on historic events, that wasted resources L train left the platform a loooooooong time ago, lol.
@@luaist how about giving back the millions of dollars that were defunded back in 2020. The money has been sitting as a city surplus until they get public support back to increase it back to what it was. It’s not gone, it’s just sitting collecting dust in a vault.
So in other words "Beverly Hills Cop - New York Edition".
I am from Singapore and i think most dont know about this. I know there is an Interpol building though
Is it staffed by serving nypd officers? Are their salaries by nypd or the liaison office. If they’re not funded by nypd then aren’t they allowed to affiliate with nypd and use their computer systems? Seems like a big conflict of interest and security risk on many levels.
Maybe a New Yorkers should protest to find out a bit more about what’s going on here.
Nypd and conflicts of interest? that cant be lmao
They are staffed by people hired to do that job
How am I from NY and never knew that
imagine being a foreign national in your own country's territory and then a NYPD officer arrests you
As a South African, I'd just like to state that this video made our Police Force seem like they mean anything when in fact they don't.
