Executive Director, Support Services Bureau (SSB), Robert S. Martinez joined the New York City Police Department in June 1986, and was assigned to the Fleet Services Division (FSD) as an Auto Service Worker. In January 1987, he advanced to Auto Mechanic and subsequently held the positions of Supervisor of Mechanics, Assistant Supervising Supervisor and Supervising Supervisor until being appointed Director in 2006.

As Director, FSD, Mr. Martinez embraced new technologies including technologies capable of reducing the Department's carbon footprint while continuing to provide resources necessary to meet the Department's mission. Hybrid and electric models in the Department's patrol fleet increased from 17 to a present count of 297 and growing. A 611,000 gallon decrease in annual fuel consumption was realized equating to an annual reduction of over 6,000 tons of greenhouse gasses. Emergency response lighting was modified to include blue lighting which increases conspicuity and safety, new low frequency sirens that allow motorists and pedestrians to "feel" sound waves have been piloted, and global positioning satellite (GPS) systems were implemented into FSD tow trucks and roadside repair trucks to optimize deployment. Director Martinez secured FSD representation on public safety, energy and vehicle committees and proactively addressed vehicle designs through positions on manufacturer's police vehicle design committees. NYPD earned three consecutive "100 Best Fleets in North America" awards between 2008 and 2010 and was also ranked the number 27 "Government Green Fleet" in 2009. Director Martinez implemented internal FSD Leadership programs, designed to be inclusive of all FSD personnel, which yielded individual mission statements for each repair facility while focus groups identified new challenges and technology committees monitored progress towards goals. Vehicle downtime has decreased every year since 2006.

As Executive Director, SSB, Mr. Martinez will provide logistical and technical support to all units of the NYPD and service the public through the operations of Fleet Services Division, Property Clerk Division, Central Records Division and Printing Section. Combined, SSB has over 900 employees and an annual budget of over $100 Million.

Executive Director Martinez earned a Bachelor of Technology degree from New York City Technical College, where he majored in Electro-Mechanical Engineering and earned a Master of Science Degree from the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University.
