We Send Letters

Dear Police Commissioner Kelly,

I'm addressing this directly to you, as many attempts to obtain certain information have fallen upon deaf ears.

My question is a simple one. From speaking with representatives of Speer, it is my understanding that the NYPD uses Gold Dot ammunition of the +P SAAMI specification. I was also informed that it was their recommendation for all of your officers to switch to +P+, as the 9 mm loads of that varietal had shown improved terminal ballistics in the field as well as the laboratory. Speer intimated that political considerations were first and foremost with regards to the selection of your munitions, and I would be most grateful were you to comment on this.

Sincerely,

Fits


"I would like to thank you for your e-mail to Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly via nyc.gov, New York City’s official website.

Unfortunately, due to the voluminous amount of request the NYPD receives for information, it is impossible for us to respond directly to your inquiry.

If you would like additional information about the NYPD, we invite you to visit our website, www.nyc.gov/nypd, where you will find a wealth of information. Our website is one of the most comprehensive law enforcement sites in the nation. It is updated often to ensure that the most current information is available.

Thank you for your interest in the New York City Police Department.

Sincerely,

Stephen Bachorik

Sergeant
