The unique, long-form stories portray the work of the women and men of the NYPD and their interactions with the people and communities they serve.  



Break in the Case, Season 4, Stories from the Emergency Service Unit introduces some of the most highly-trained officers in the NYPD. For them, there’s no such thing as a routine day on the job. They’re EMTs. Divers. Hostage Negotiators. SWAT. They put their own lives at risk in the service of others. 



In Season 4, go behind the scenes with the officers of Truck
1 for a rescue on the Statue of Liberty. Learn why ESU are known as the buffs of the police department and how they prepare both mentally and physically for the most stressful jobs. The season also features a white-knuckle narrative by the officers who stopped a suicide bomb plot from taking place on Brooklyn’s subways in 1997. 



Break in the Case is supported by the independent nonprofit
New York City Police Foundation, and is written and produced by Jill Bauerle and Kenzie De Laine II. The podcast’s narrator, retired Detective Sergeant Wally Zeins, served at the NYPD from 1973 to 2003.
