- "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we all know that this city needs help. It needs it now. Not tomorrow, not next week, not when the day comes that the corruption Wilson Fisk left in his wake is flushed out for good and the police force is finally back on its feet. We need it now, because this city has been sick. And the cops, they can't fix it alone. They need – we all need – men and women willing to take the fight themselves. The kind of people who risk their lives so we can all walk safe at night in our own neighborhoods. The ones our esteemed District Attorney is trying so hard to destroy. New York needs these people. We need heroes."
- ―Matt Murdock at Punisher's trial[src]
The New York City Police Department, often shortened as NYPD, is the largest municipal police force in the United States of America, and the primary responsible for law enforcement and investigation within the five boroughs of New York City.
History
Johann Fennhoff's Campaign
Massacre at the Cinema Theater
Detective Prendergast was tasked with investigating a massacre inside a cinema theater. He called the New York Bell Company Office branch of the Strategic Scientific Reserve upon seeing the carnage.
Upon arrival of the SSR agents Peggy Carter, Jack Thompson, and Daniel Sousa he explained to them that none of the forty-seven customers survived the massacre. He walked the agents through the police investigation of the patrons who had their heads bashed in and eyes gouged. He commented that the scene was as if a monster destroyed the place.
At a different section of the theater, Prendergast asked Sousa if the agents were accustomed to sights like this. Sousa assured them they are not and started to search for some clues.
While searching Sousa found the Midnight Oil canister and accidently inhaled some of the gas still inside. Under the influence of the gas Sousa attacked Thompson. He was eventually knocked out by the baton of a police officer.[1]
Kidnapping of Officer Pike
Meanwhile at another part of town Officer Pike noticed a driver go trough a stop sign and decided to stop the car. Before approaching the car he left the policeradio within is his car loud enough to be heard. Pike explained the young lady driving the car why he had stopped her and told her that she was lucky that she did not have an accident. After hearing her reaction he decided to allow them to leave.
As he walked back to his vehicle Pike heard that a car fitting the description of the one he just stopped was stolen near the massacre at the movie theater. He then decided to turn around to return to the driver, only to find her pointing a gun at her.[1]
Assassination of Jack Murdock
Two police officers, including Ray Peters, were called to check and cordon off the place where the body of Jack Murdock had been found dead due to a shot wound.
Matt Murdock, the victim's son, arrived at the place, and while Officer Peters tried to prevent Matt from entering, his colleague realized that Matt was blind, and let them enter upon hearing Matt that the man that had just been killed may be his father.[2]

- "Look, we're wired differently. We run towards gunfire. We drink when we're sad. We screw when we're mad. And people hate us until they need us. And I hate that. But I love it, too."
