...clichéd food metaphor, this Al Pacino/Robert De Niro tag-team event would have to be more of a reheated meatloaf than a zesty fettucine alfredo. De Niro and Pacino, two of the most esteemed living movie actors, play a duo of disgruntled, aging homocide detectives on the NYPD in the midst of a serial killer investigation. The movie kicks off hard and fast, introducing our protagonists as they fire guns at targets to the sensory assault of pounding guitar riffs and flashy credits. You would think it was an action film, right? Instead, the movie descends into...
...drug bust, four NYPD officers are ambushed and killed. The men were under the command of Capt. Francis Tierney (Emmerich), who comes from a family of Irish cops: his dad (Voight), brother Ray (Norton) and brother-in-law Jimmy Egan (Ferrell) are all on the force. So when Ray reluctantly takes the job of investigating the crime, his sleuthing leads to evidence of an inside job, and forces him into conflict with one or two bad apples in the Tierney brood. With its twisty plot that has Ray trekking through the lower depths of Harlem and Brooklyn, and the higher...
...case highlights the intense pressure the constant threat of terrorism places on the Met, which leads all counterterrorism investigations in Britain as well as those affecting British nationals abroad. A New York Police Department (NYPD) official who has worked closely with the Met says the scale of London's counterterrorism operation is striking: "The numbers there are just overwhelming - just an astounding number of people they're trying to keep track of."

...large organization. With some 31,500 officers, 14,000 administrators and more than 4,000 police community service officers serving a population of 7.5 million, the Met has never been bigger - a factor Blair says has been pivotal in achieving the recent reductions in crime. Its nearest equivalent, the NYPD, has some 38,000 officers to police New York City's population of 8.2 million. The numbers are close, but Blair says his officers have to do more and cover more ground than their American colleagues: "Our disadvantage is that we've got twice the geographic area...
...Twenty per cent of [our] last academy class was foreign-born," says the NYPD official. "Scotland Yard is pretty much still lily white. They have a different reputation within the population as a result." In Hackney, where about 20% of the population is black and there are large Asian and Turkish communities, only 11% of officers come from ethnic minorities. That's better than the Met as a whole, where minorities account for just 8.3% of police. But, says Dann, "we have independent advisers who are community representatives: Jewish, Turkish, black, faith, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender...
