The New York Police Department's counterterrorism unit is recognized as the premier standard for combating domestic terrorism across the United States. This reputation stems from the department's strategic integration of intelligence and counterterror efforts, particularly under Deputy Commissioner Rebecca Weiner since 2023. Experts emphasize the necessity of continuous cooperation among various agencies and immediate intelligence sharing. Following the 9/11 attacks, the NYPD developed one of the largest municipal counterterrorism operations, collaborating closely with the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Forces and focusing on monitoring key indicators within social media and online communications to assess potential threats.
Retired LAPD Lieutenant Jeff Wenniger highlighted the capabilities of the NYPD counterterrorism unit, calling them the benchmark for intelligence integration worldwide.
The NYPD's Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau, the largest of its kind in the U.S., has become a model since enhancing its operations post-9/11.
