ainsley: susan, what is the nyc police foundation? the new york city police foundation is a nonprofit organization. we have been around for forfeiture years. and we raise funds to support nypd programs and initiatives that help make the city safer. and anyone who buys this calendar contributes to those programs. steve: detective, do you have a microphone on over there? yes. steve: okay, good. one of the things about police officers here in new york city. tourists take pictures with you everyday. the mounted unit everybody goes up and says can i pet your horse and they take a picture. what about with your dogs? so myself, i let people interact with her. she is very friendly. she has a great personality. helps bridge that gap between the community. steve: your dog s name is zeta. explain what zeta does to keep the people of new york city safe. explosion detection canines.
body-worn explosive. that s common tactic over in afghanistan, when you re concerned that that might be the case, and it makes a lot of sense to do it here when you re worried about it. from a tactical standpoint, is there any way to prevent that? i ve always been told a head shot is the only way, but when you re trying to capture him alive, to get the information that you really do want to get, one of the things you can do is you can make good use of canines, explosion detection canines. you can send a canine up there. i have trained canines that are good enough to go off leash and go up there and they will sit on him if he is wearing an explosive, they will alert on it. so that will also give you an indicator that there s an explosive involved. i know they got some good canines in this town and that s a possibility as well. you have no doubt, given the lack of information that everybody has about the suspect at this point, they would like to capture him alive, not only from a
