Portions of an NYPD patrol guide were plucked from a trash can outside a midtown NYPD building – the same bin where counterterrorism paperwork was found in May.
For the second time this year, blogger Bucky Turco walked by the Manhattan South Task Force on W. 42nd St. and found a stack of police documents sitting in a city trash bin outside the building, he said.
“They were just right there,” said Turco, who planned to post some of the documents today on animalnewyork.com. “They were in perfect condition.”
The 12-page packet – which was obtained by the Daily News – outlines basic NYPD procedures that include how to safely resolve confrontations among officers and how to deal with hostage situations.
It also details protocol to test officers for alcohol after a cop fires a gun and injures or kills a person.
The paperwork, dated Feb. 18, includes a summary of duties for a field intelligence officer, who is responsible for gathering and sharing information with several departments.
Although the papers found Monday night are NYPD documents, much of the information can be found online.
“This time it wasn’t anything confidential . . . but what if one day it is?” Turco asked. “Obviously, the last time didn’t get through to anyone.”
