Squad 4

Squad 4 oversees an array of City agencies that include the City’s Department of Finance (DOF), the City's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), the Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), and the City’s Employee Retirement System (NYCERS), among others. Squad 4’s investigations result in arrests of individuals and City employees who embezzle funds, restaurant inspectors who accept bribes to overlook health code violations, and owners who seek to circumvent the City’s health and safety codes. This Squad's investigations have led to the arrest of a day care provider applicant on charges of forging a training certificate and the conviction of a social worker for defrauding a program for developmentally delayed children.
