I Think One Of The Biggest Scams

I Never Think Of The Word Legacy. It Doesn't Mean Anything. You Do The Right Thing, In My Judgment, And Things Will Work Out. That's What Drives Me. I'm Not Looking For Legacy Or History Books Or Whatever. I Know What We've Done Here Has Saved A Significant Number Of Lives. The Burden Is Not On Me. It's On The Politicians Who Made The Decisions To Limit What We're Doing. They're The Ones Who Are Going To Pay A Price, In My Judgment, If Crime Significantly Increases.

I've Been The Longest-serving Police Commissioner In The History Of The Department, But It's Time In My Life To Move On. I'm Ready For New Adventures, New Challenges.

No Other Agency Is Scrutinized Like The Police. Everything We Do Is In A Goldfish Bowl. We Are Not The Most Popular People In Society. We Do Things Like Use Deadly Force; We're The Bearers Of Bad News. We're Not Firefighters, Who Are Viewed As Heroic, Helping People, With People Loving Them Back. The Police Have A Much More Complex And Demanding Job.

I Think I've Had A Long, Distinguished Career In Public Service. It Just Goes To Show You What Some Politicians Will Do. They'll Say Or Do Anything To Get Elected. I Know All These People. They All Claimed To Be Friends Of Mine Up Until Their Mayoral Campaigns. They'd Call Me On The Phone And Ask For Information Or Come Over Here And Sit In This Chair To Get Briefed.

New York Is Safer Than It Has Been - And It's Getting Safer. But It's Never Safe. As The Financial And Communications Capital Of The World, This Is Where Terrorists Want To Make A Statement, Where They Get The Most Bang For The Buck.
