The Heroes: NYPD and FDNY
Are you captivated by series and movies featuring New York’s bravest and finest—the city’s firefighters and police officers? Come on this tour and meet them in person! You’ll look great in photos taken with these stoic characters who are an integral part of the New York City scene.
As you pass through select Manhattan neighborhoods, you’ll see police stations where you may interact with one of the 35,000 NYPD officers who make up this massive force essential to maintaining order in this vast megalopolis. We may be able to visit a fire station* where you’ll learn about the basics of the job and the equipment they use. You’ll also have the opportunity to pay your respects to the hundreds of firefighters who selflessly sacrificed themselves during the sinister attacks of September 11, 2001 and learn many anecdotal history from someone who has been on the job and also more in-depth history of the department while we finish at the Museum with a fireman guide! Ask all the questions you want!
One thing is for sure—after this visit, you will be able to define the acronyms NYPD and FDNY without hesitation! So, get ready to pose in front of a giant red fire truck or the NYPD mini car. Depending on their availability at the time, you’ll get to chat with a policeman or a fireman about their work experiences and their daily life. If you’re curious about the public servants of New York, don’t hesitate to book this tour to learn more!
*We can not certainly confirm that a firehouse will be available to welcome us as it depends on the emergency of the days!
