SAFE, LOFT & BURGLARY SQUAD. Formally an elite NYPD unit, that sadly few New York City cops even know about. What a shame. These detectives were the best of the best! An Harold Jacob was one of them. The unit was changed to the SAFE, LOFT & TRUCK SQUAD and disbanded in 1994. John Gotti got his first pinch from this unit. It is a shame the current members of the NYPD are not taught, or at least given some information on this great unit.

NYPD / Harold Jacob was my uncle I'm proud to say.
