Is New York City heading down a dangerous financial path again?

In this episode, we break down the explosive proposal tied to Zohran Mamdani’s plan to delay pension payments—a move critics say echoes the same financial schemes that once pushed NYC to the brink of bankruptcy.

What does this mean for:

NYPD, FDNY, and municipal retirees?
Current city workers paying into the system?
The long-term stability of NYC’s pension funds?

We’re joined by Marianne Pizzitola, President of NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees and FDNY EMS Local 2507, who has been on the front lines fighting to protect retiree benefits.

She brings real insight into:

What’s actually happening behind the scenes
How retirees could be impacted
What legal and financial battles are already underway

This is a conversation every NYC worker—past and present—needs to hear.

In episode 62 of the Executive Perspective, Ron and Rob investigate the latest assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. They examine the response to the threat at the White House Correspondence Association dinner.

They question whether the US Secret Service, the primary agency responsible for presidential security, has sufficient staffing for such an event. They also discuss the US Secret Service’s current mission of investigating financial crimes such as counterfeiting and cyber fraud, rather than its primary responsibility of protecting dignitaries.

Additionally, they will discuss the recent arrest of an NYPD officer in the Bronx for Attempted Assault for an on-duty altercation. They will explore the shift away from CCRB/Internal discipline for excessive force complaints to criminal prosecution. This change has implications for the rank and file and their motivation to be proactive police officers.

Engage in the interactive chat and participate in a lively discussion.

With a combined 65 years of service in the NYPD, over 40 of which were in the executive ranks, retired Deputy Chief Rob Lukach and retired Inspector Ron Leyson offer an unparalleled analysis of policy, procedure, and leadership in the NYPD and law enforcement in general. On their podcast, Ron and Rob engage in a lively discussion, debate, and dissection of current high-profile incidents and topics of concern to rank-and-file members from their unique "Executive Perspective."

In this episode of New York’s Finest: Retired & Unfiltered, we sit down with Retired NYPD First Grade Detective Mike Mulroy for a raw, behind-the-scenes look at a career spent in one of the toughest police departments in the world.

Mulroy takes us through the realities of detective work in New York City — from everyday cases to life-or-death encounters — and what it means to carry the job long after retirement.

Who is Mike Mulroy? (Bio)

Mike Mulroy is a retired NYPD First Grade Detective who investigated over 1,000 cases, ranging from petit larceny to homicide, during his career in New York City.

In May 1994, he was awarded the NYPD Medal of Valor after an armed suspect opened fire on him. Mulroy returned fire, stopping the threat, and the suspect was immediately apprehended — a defining moment that reflects his courage and composure under extreme pressure.

After retiring from the NYPD in 2010, Mulroy transitioned into the private sector, working with Brosnan Risk Consultants, where he provided armed and unarmed security for banks, commercial, and residential properties, while also conducting employee background investigations for numerous companies.

Today, he shares his experience and insight into policing, investigations, and security.

Purchase Mike Mulroy’s Book "The Silence We Carry" that he co-authored with his daughter Madison.
