Members of the NYPD are planning a fundraiser for MBTA police officer Richard ‘Dick’ Donohue, 33, who was injured in the shootout with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters Thursday afternoon that the Boston Marathon bombers had “spontaneously” planned to drive to Times Square with their unused six explosives.

New York police are close to cracking a Donegal murder that has baffled Irish cops since 1977.

Gilberto Valle, the so-called ‘cannibal cop’ of the NYPD, declined to testify in his own defense on Tuesday at the final day of testimony in New York City. Valle is accused of plotting to kidnap, cook and eat his own Irish American wife, Kathleen Mangan-Valle, and several other women.

Federal agent Corey Walsh told the New York court of the graphic evidence of Gilberto Valle’s plans they found on his computer and in online chats. The former NYPD cop is accused of planning to kidnap, rape, murder and eat women. He is also charged with illegal use of government database information in researching his victims.

The story of Oscar Pistorius is hauntingly reminiscent of the troubles of one of New York’s finest who happened to be one of the most famous Olympians a little over a century ago.

Kathleen Mangan (27), the estranged wife of the accused former NYPD officer Gilberto Valle, tried to warn her husband’s possible victims of his plans to sell them into “white slavery," the court heard.

The trial of New York City’s Cannibal Cop has heard his wife describe how he wanted to tie her up by her feet and her throat and ‘watch the blood rush from my body’.

New York Police Commissioner, Ray Kelly, has the highest approval rating ever, the latest poll has revealed.

A new NYPD cop has received the badge number of her father, who died trying to rescue people from the twin towers on 9/11.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has said that in all his decades in law enforcement he has never seen anything comparable to the Sandy Hook tragedy.

The family of a Co. Meath immigrant, who took his own life in September, have filed a lawsuit against the New York Police Department, Elmhurst Hospital in Queens and the Fire Department of New York EMS over his treatment in the lead up to his death.

The New York Police Officer charged with conspiring to kidnap and eat women, Gilberto Valle, may have been planning to eat his victims for Thanksgiving, prosecutors have said.
 
Federal prosecutor Hadassa Waxman read aloud a transcript of an Internet chat conversation from February 9. Valle (29) told one of his conspirators that turkey would not satisfy his hunger.
 
The New York Post reports that the conversation went like this:
 
“Valle: “I’m planning on getting some girl meat.
 
“Alleged co-conspirator: “Really? Tell me more.
 
“Valle: “This November, for Thanksgiving. It’s a long way off, but I’m getting the plan in motion now. She’s not a volunteer. She has to be abducted. I know where she lives. I will grab her from her house.”
 
Valle was turned in by his Irish American wife Kathleen Mangan who came across his “blueprints” for the “abduction and cooking” of women on her laptop. Having read the graphic manifesto Valle had left on her computer she tipped off the cops before fleeing with their young child.

The cop’s lawyer, Julia Gatto, has argued that these online chats were merely “sick, twisted” sexual fantasies that he shared with other fetishists.
 
She likened these online fetishists to “Star Trek geeks and science-fiction movie guys who dress up and go to conventions.”
 
Having carried out an investigation into Valle’s “subculture” Gatto had uncovered the site that Valle frequented.
 
She said, “All over the Web site, it says: No matter how real this sounds, this is all fantasy”
 
The lawyer added that, “there’s nothing the government can point to outside the computer.”
 
Gatto maintains that the psychologist who examines Valle concluded he is no danger to society.
 
However, the prosecutor, Waxman, said an FBI expert, at Quantico, VA, said Valle is “not fantasizing” and would pursue the plans he had made if he was freed.
 
Waxman said, “The fact that nothing happened is really extraordinarily fortunate.”
 
The defense team argues that Valle should be allowed to reside at his mother’s home wearing a GPS ankle.
 
Judge Paul Gardephe said this proposal would not guarantee the safety of the community or prevent him from fleeing.
 
The Judge said, “There has been nothing rational about this case,” Gardephe said. “It is depraved, bizarre, aberrational and, as of now, entirely unexplained, particularly for someone who is a law-enforcement officer.”
 
Valle is currently being held in solitary confinement in the Metropolitan Correctional Center, in downtown Manhattan. If convicted he would face a maximum of life in prison.
 
Valle’s trial is scheduled for January 22.

New York Police Department Commissioner Ray Kelly made a surprise trip to one of the most badly affected areas of New York, Staten Island, which was slammed by Hurricane Sandy last week.

An investigation has been launched into NYPD officer Gilberto Valle after he was found to be suspected of plotting to kidnap, torture, cook and kill women.

NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has said that New York City continues to be a target for terrorists in the wake of the attempted attack of the Federal Reserve Bank in Lower Manhattan.

The longest serving member of the NYPD is being forced to give up his badge later this month, after 44 years of service.

New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly is to double the number of police officers in his NYPD Gang Division to 300 in an effort to stamp out the growing problem of ‘youth crews’ in the city.

It seems totally preposterous that four animals who proudly shot and killed an Irish American cop in Queens back in 1988 could ever be given the chance to once again prowl the streets, but that’s exactly what could happen when the killers of NYPD Officer Edward Byrne come up for parole later this year.
