Daddy doesn't know whether he has any more to give tonight. Don't worry, just come on in, sit back, unzip, and let me do all the work. I know exactly how to treat New York's Finest after a long, hard day of selfless service . . . with a long, hard night of selfless service.

Apollo (1992-2006) was a German Shepherd search and rescue dog who worked with the New York Police Department’s K-9 unit.
Handled by Officer Peter Davis, Apollo was one of the first search and rescue dogs to arrive at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001.
The team arrived just 15 minutes after the collapse of the towers.
The conditions were incredibly hazardous; the air was thick with smoke, dust, and dangerous chemicals. The debris field was unstable.
At one point, Apollo even fell into a pool of water created by the firefighters’ efforts, but he was unharmed and eager to continue his work.
Apollo and his handler worked 18-hour days during the initial stages of the rescue operation, searching for survivors amid the rubble.
The duo was also tasked with locating the remains of those who had perished in the attack, aiding in the difficult process of identification.
In recognition of his bravery, Apollo received the Dickin Medal in 2002, which is often described as the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.
Apollo passed away in November 2006, but his legacy lives on as a symbol of the special bond between humans and animals, particularly in times of great need.

The PDSA Dickin Medal was instituted in 1943 in the United Kingdom by Maria Dickin to honour the work of animals in World War II.
It is a bronze medallion, bearing the words "For Gallantry" and "We Also Serve" within a laurel wreath, carried on a ribbon of striped green, dark brown, and pale blue.
It is awarded to animals that have displayed "conspicuous gallantry or devotion to duty while serving or associated with any branch of the Armed Forces or Civil Defence Units."
The award is commonly referred to as "the animals' Victoria Cross."

A New York City directive allowing first responders to enforce a state law that allows them to potentially involuntarily commit people experiencing a mental health crisis can proceed after facing legal challenges by mental health advocates, a judge has ruled.
The ruling, issued Monday by U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty in the Southern District of New York, denied a motion brought by individuals and mental health organizations in December. The legal challenge asked a judge to issue a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the city’s implementation of the policy.
The motion was filed on December 8 as part of an existing lawsuit that alleges New York City has consistently failed to provide safe and appropriate care to New Yorkers experiencing mental health crises. The plaintiffs argued the city’s plan is unconstitutional and violates an individual’s “freedom to live without unlawful seizures and excessive force by law enforcement.”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams first announced the directive in November as part of an attempt to address concerns about homelessness and crime.
Adams said it was a myth that first responders can only involuntarily commit those who displayed an “overt act” showing they may be suicidal, violent or a danger to others, CNN previously reported. Instead, he said the law allowed first responders to involuntarily commit those who cannot meet their own “basic human needs” – a lower bar.
New York Lawyers for Public Interest, a non-profit civil rights law firm, said in a statement to CNN it was disappointed by the court’s ruling.
“The rights of New Yorkers with mental disabilities, particularly those who are unhoused, remain imperiled by the city’s new involuntary removal policy. Our litigation challenging the city’s use of New York Police Department officers as first responders when someone is experiencing a mental health crisis continues,” reads the statement from the firm, which was one of the plaintiffs in the December lawsuit.
Nicholas Paolucci, the director of public affairs at the New York City Law Department, said in a statement to CNN that the defendants are “pleased the court agreed plaintiffs have no legal standing to halt the Mayor’s sound and compassionate plan.”
NEW YORK CITY’S PLAN DRAWS CRITICISM
As part of the city’s plan, New York Police Department officers and first responders will get additional training to help them make such evaluations and a team of mental health technicians will be available, either via a hotline or video chat, to help them determine whether a person needs to be taken to a hospital for further evaluation, CNN previously reported.
The city also plans to develop specialized intervention teams to work side by side with NYPD officers.
Adams said first responders weren’t consistently enforcing the law because they were unsure of its scope, reserving it only for cases that appeared the most serious.
New York state enacted a law in 2021 to allow first responders to involuntarily commit a person with mental illness who needs immediate care. The directive led to a mixed response from officials, who acknowledged the challenges of properly and humanely treating mentally ill people.
“This is a longstanding and very complex issue,” NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said in a statement. “We will continue to work closely with our many partners to ensure that everyone has access to the services they require. This deserves the full support and attention of our collective efforts.”
Mental health advocates argued in their legal challenge that the city’s policy will authorize officers with “little to no expertise in dealing with individuals with mental disabilities…to determine whether an individual should be forcefully – often violently – detained against their will.”
“If the Involuntary Removal Policy is permitted to continue to be implemented, Plaintiffs and countless other New Yorkers will suffer irreparable harm, including a substantially increased likelihood that they will be subjected to unlawful detention and involuntary hospitalization just for exhibiting behavior perceived by a police officer to be unusual – whether the individual has a mental disability or not,” the advocates’ December motion stated.

On This Day in New York City History March 1, 1912: NYPD Jail Matron Isabella Goodwin (February 20, 1865 - October 26, 1943) becomes the first female detective on the force.
She joined the police force in the late 1890's serving as a jail matron, a position that had her looking after female and children prisoners. In the course of her employment, Goodwin would go undercover from time to time to investigate crimes and gain access to locations such as women only gambling dens where male police officers could not enter. It was while undercover that her big break came.
In 1912, there was a robbery where $25,000 (roughly $770,000 in today's dollars) was stolen. One of the suspects was believed to frequent a boardinghouse for relations with one of its tenants. Goodwin went undercover as a scrubwoman at the boardinghouse. She did so until she gained enough evidence to have the suspect arrested and the case was solved.
For her actions, Goodwin was appointed as New York's first female detective and given the rank of 1st grade lieutenant. By the 1920's Detective Goodwin would oversee the  Women’s Bureau that was tasked with investigating cases involving prostitutes, runaways, truants and victims of domestic violence. She would retire in 1924.
As of 2019, 6,570 women were working in New York City’s 36,500-member police force (18 percent) including 781 detectives, 753 sergeants and 200 lieutenants.
Goodwin would pass away on October 26, 1943 and is buried in Green-Wood Cemetary in Brooklyn.
