Former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly with Dan Abrams on Vigilance

Oct 08, 2015

With fifty years in public service, Ray Kelly is one of the world’s most highly esteemed law enforcement leaders.

He’s the two-term police commissioner who, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, transformed the NYPD into a counter-terrorism force to surpass even the FBI and the Pentagon. Hear about a life fighting crime and the dozens of sinister plots foiled by his antiterrorist teams—as well as his take on the challenges and issues facing police officers and police agencies in the USA today. Justice, integrity, courage, loyalty—these are the values that propelled him through the ranks of the NYPD during the city’s toughest decades, and continue to drive him today.
