Slain Police Officer Was Working in Uniform While Off Duty

The New York Police Department officer who was killed in a shooting in a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper on Monday was working as part of the Paid Detail Unit, which was created in 1998 to allow uniformed officers to work as security guards while off duty. Under the program, companies can hire officers for shifts in office building lobbies, stores, sports complexes, banks and other venues that are open to the public, keeping them safer and increasing police visibility. It is often used by large corporations, said Kathryn S. Wylde, leader of the Partnership for New York City, a business group. 'It's considered an expensive, but very useful, upgrade of security,' Ms. Wylde said, adding that its use grew after the Sept. 11 attacks and, later, during the Covid-19 pandemic. 'Small businesses want to use it and can't afford it.' When the system started, inspired by similar programs in other cities, it let New York officers work in uniform off the clock for the first time, former officers said. For many, it was their first time holding a second job. 'You put your name on a list, and when a job comes up, they call you,' said John McAuliffe, who retired from the force in 2020 and once worked security at a Yankees game under the program. The Police Department vets the businesses, which provide direct payments to the officers. The department takes out a 10 percent administrative fee. Officers working the shifts are not able to issue summonses, but are expected to follow department rules, according to the Police Department. The department did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the program. As of 2016, officers could make $41 an hour, sergeants $51 and lieutenants $57. 'Up until yesterday, it was like easy money,' Mr. McAuliffe said. Randolph Blenman, who retired from the force in 2004, recalled working shifts at Toys 'R' Us and at the 2000 World Series between the Yankees and Mets. Many officers embraced the opportunity to make good money on lower-stress shifts, he said. 'You weren't standing on the corner of 125th Street and Lex,' he said, referring to a busy and sometimes chaotic corner in East Harlem. 'They would have people at Rockefeller Center during the holidays.' Richard M. Aborn, the president of the nonprofit Citizens Crime Commission, said the system has offered benefits to the city and to officers. 'It's a smart way of increasing police presence in the city,' he said. 'And it gives the cops a chance to earn extra money.' Maria Cramer contributed reporting.

Israeli settler kills Palestinian activist who worked on Oscar-winning film

FacebookTweetLink A prominent Palestinian activist who had worked on an Oscar-winning documentary died on Monday after being shot by a Jewish settler in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to local journalists and officials. Odeh Hathalin, who was a consultant on 'No Other Land,' a film that documents Israeli settler and military attacks on the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta, was shot in the village of Umm al-Khair, in that same community. Israeli police said its forces arrived at the scene and detained an Israeli civilian, who was later arrested for questioning. Police did not identify the man they arrested. The Israeli military claimed that 'terrorists hurled rocks toward Israeli civilians near Carmel,' an Israeli settlement near Umm al-Khair. Hathalin's shooting was first reported by Yuval Abraham, the Israeli investigative journalist who co-directed 'No Other Land.' Abraham said Hathalin was 'shot in the upper body' and was in critical condition. Later, the Palestinian health ministry said he had died of his injuries. Many settlers are armed, and violence in the West Bank has surged since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. At least 964 Palestinians have been killed since then by Israeli forces and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, according to the United Nations. Settlers have a strong influence on Israeli politics, and in the rare cases where they are arrested for violent attacks against Palestinians, they are often released without charge. Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank are illegal under international law. Ofer Cassif, a left-wing member of Israel's parliament, has demanded that authorities launch an investigation into Hathalin's death. 'The incident occurred in broad daylight, in front of cameras, with no fear of legal consequences – testament to the paralysis of law enforcement and the complete sense of immunity enjoyed by violent settlers,' Cassif wrote in a letter to Israel's Attorney General. Basel Adra, a Palestinian journalist and a co-director of 'No Other Land,' shared testimony to his 'dear friend' Hathalin. 'He was standing in front of the community settler in his village when a settler fired a bullet that pierced his chest and took his life. This is how Israel erases us – one life at a time,' Adra wrote in a post on Instagram. Last month, Hathalin was detained at San Francisco International Airport upon arrival and deported after immigration officials revoked his visa, local media reported. He had been invited to visit a California synagogue as part of an interfaith speaking tour. CNN reported in March that settlers had also targeted Hamdan Ballal, another co-director of 'No Other Land,' outside his home in the village of Susya, also in Masser Yatta. Ballal, who had recently returned from Los Angeles to accept an Oscar for the film, told CNN he thought the group of settlers would kill him. He was detained by Israeli soldiers, handcuffed, blindfolded and beaten. The film 'No Other Land,' which tracked the destruction of the Masser Yatta community between 2019 and 2023, won Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2024 Oscars. Its final scene shows Adra's cousin, Zakara al-Adra, being shot by an Israeli settler in October 2023. Previous reporting from CNN's Kara Fox, Kareem Khadder and Jeremy Diamond.
