Meet the new, funky NYPD – now available on your MP3 player.
The Police Department yesterday introduced a new podcast featuring traffic reports, public-service announcements and features on its work.
The podcasts can be downloaded from the NYPD’s Web site and played on any MP3 player, or over the Internet for those without access to the season’s latest high-tech toy.
“This is another way to get information out in a contemporary way using another medium,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said.
This week’s podcast includes information on traffic changes caused by the U.N. summit, tips on preventing identity theft and a report on the NYPD’s work in New Orleans.
