After a 16-week training period, the class of NYPD Auxiliary Police Officers graduated.  Held at Patrol Borough Queens South, the ceremony recognized the efforts of 47 civic-minded individuals who gave up their time to join the NYPD Auxiliary Program.  At 2212 hours on June 18, 2008, the 47 APOs were conferred their Certificates by Deputy Inspector Angelo Maroulis, Commanding Officer of the Auxiliary Police Program.

The program had been recently revamped since the events surrounding the tragic deaths of APO Eugene Nicholas Pekearo and APO Eugene Marshalik.  The training was redesigned to consolidate and rectify different training standards which previously existed in the APO training program.

A study of how to more effectively recruit and train new APOs was conducted, and a new road map for the APO Training Program was initiated.  Since January, 2008, under the direction of the Commanding Officer of each Patrol Borough, the new standards have been implemented and continue to roll out the new changes across the Department Precincts, Police Service areas, and Transit Districts. The 47 graduating APOs will be working in the following Precincts:  100, 101, 103, 105, 107, 113, and TD 20.

    The Largest Volunteer Crime Prevention Program in the U.S.
An Interview with NYPD Captain Angelo Maroulis
The interview in February, 2004, was arranged by 20th Precinct A/Captain Daniel Sayers, Conducted by APO Larry Mentz, and Photographed by APO Rodney Holmes

Web Author Note:  On April 29, 2005, NYPD Captain Angelo Maroulis was promoted to Deputy Inspector Maroulis.  Congratulations, Deputy Inspector Maroulis! 

Written by APO Larry Mentz
NYPD 20th Precinct Auxiliary

With approximately 4,167 Auxiliary Police Officers under his command, NYPD Captain Angelo Maroulis (pictured at right) knows he is responsible for the largest volunteer force for crime prevention in the country.  With great pride, he also has what he believes may be one of the best, if not the best, such program in the U.S.

Given the breadth and depth of the program, it would be hard to argue with him on that point.  The NYPD Auxiliary Police Section (as it is formally known), or APS, has Volunteer Officers in 76 Precincts, 8 Patrol Boroughs, one Harbor, 9 Housing Police services, 1 Transit Unit, and 9 Auxiliary Patrol Support Units (A.P.S.U.).  The Auxiliaries have their own command structure under the NYPD, and each command has a NYPD Officer as a coordinator between the Auxiliary and the NYPD precinct command structure where the Auxiliary Unit has its home.

In New York City, the Auxiliaries have the job of being the "eyes and ears" of the NYPD.  They patrol the neighborhoods in their respective precincts, both on foot and in RMPs.  Through the NYPD precinct coordinator and based upon Police reported crime statistics, the Auxiliaries are deployed by the Precinct Commander to the locations that require a uniformed presence for crime prevention.  Equipped with NYPD radios, Auxiliaries are often right there when something happens or if someone needs help and are able to call for assistance on the spot.

Inside the office of NYPD Auxiliary Commander Maroulis (left to right): NYPD 20th Precinct A/Sgt. Mike Pizarro, APO Larry Mentz, A/Captain Dan Sayers, NYPD Auxiliary Commander Captain Angelo Maroulis, APO Rodney Holmes.

All Auxiliaries receive approximately 54 hours of basic training over a 16-week period in Police science, self defense, and law.  Many have received training in first aid and can provide immediate emergency assistance.  Auxiliaries with the experience and the desire can receive additional management training for leadership positions within the APS.

Pictured at right (left to right):  A/Captain Hector Reyes (Headquarters), A/Deputy Chief Kathy McKenna (Headquarters), A/Captain Dan Sayers, and NYPD Auxiliary Forces Commander Captain Angelo Maroulis during a recent interview in Captain Maroulis' office.

Captain Maroulis believes the Auxiliary program fills an important need and is very pleased with the job the Auxiliaries do.  He pointed out that, since September 11, everyone realizes that the uniformed services in the City (the police and fire departments) cannot do the job alone.  As an example, he pointed to the "Blackout of 2003" when over 25% of the entire Auxiliary force reported for duty and assisted wherever needed, including the hazardous and difficult task of directing rush hour traffic leaving the City as darkness fell, without the benefit of any traffic lights (this author is very proud to say that the 20th Precinct Auxiliaries had approximately 75% reporting).

With the upcoming Republican National Convention scheduled in New York City this summer, the demands on the NYPD will be heavy.  Captain Maroulis explained that the Auxiliaries will assist as much as possible, given the training they have received, with routine precinct duties to permit more NYPD Officers to be assigned to security for the Convention.

Captain Maroulis clearly enjoys the command for which he has been responsible for the past 8 years.  He is the direct liaison between the APS and the NYPD.  With guidance from NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, from his dedicated staff, and from Chief of Patrol Nicholas Estavillo, Captain Maroulis sees to the proper administration, budgeting, management, training, procurement and recruitment of the APS calling upon his experience to put the NYPD's available resources to best use.

Pictured at right (left to right):  Full-time Officers Sergeant Chin, Officer Meyers, Captain Maroulis, and Officer Cruz from APS (Auxiliary Police Section).

As with every NYPD Officer, Captain Maroulis rose through the ranks starting at the Police Academy in 1969; and he has had assignments throughout the City.  For example, he has worked in Flatbush and Boro Park (in Brooklyn, for you readers not from the City), Midtown South Precinct (Manhattan between 29th and 45th Streets), and Forest Hills in Queens.  He was promoted to Sergeant in 1982, and he spent a few years on Highway duty followed by a few years in the Office of Chief of Patrol.  He also had a stint in the APS as a Sergeant, responsible for purchasing, supplies, and recruitment.  In 1989, he was made Lieutenant and Captain in 1995, serving as the Executive Officer in the 6th Precinct.

He assumed command of the APS in March, 1996, and was (and is) clearly enthusiastic.  He helped computerize the NYPD APS, and he started the Longevity Awards for Auxiliaries to recognize the dedicated service put in by so many.

Captain Maroulis is a firm believer that RECRUITMENT is the life-blood of the Auxiliaries.  In his view, the APS has to find those people who want to give back to the community and draw them into the program where they will have an opportunity to make a difference in the local community, learn about Police work, and develop an appreciation for the difficult job that the NYPD (and all Police Departments) are entrusted with.  For younger members, the Auxiliaries give them the additional opportunity of learning whether they might like a career in Law Enforcement.

Captain Maroulis is justifiably proud of the job they do and of the example they set, both in the City and, along with other volunteers, throughout the country.

Body Armor and Scholarships
for NYC APOs
$3.5 million committed by Mayor Bloomberg in 2008 budget for APO Body Armor.
Police Commissioner Kelly announces an Auxiliary Police Committee and Scholarship Fund.

"The scholarship fund will serve as a living memorial to the courage and commitment of two brave Auxiliary Officers who made the ultimate sacrifice,"
said Commissioner Kelly

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced that he will commit $3.5 million in 2008's budget to provide New York City's APOs with body armor.

New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly has announced the creation of a committee to examine recruitment, equipment, and other issues surrounding Auxiliary Police Officers in New York City.  The announcement comes on the heels of an incident where two Auxiliary Officers, Eugene Marshalik (19) and Nicholas Pekearo (28), were gunned down by a man in Greenwich Village.  The committee includes several top Police officials and the head of the Auxiliary Police Union.

Commissioner Kelly has also announced the establishment of an Auxiliary Police Scholarship Fund in the memory of these fine APOs who were killed while protecting the citizens of New York. In a press release of April 27, 2007, Commissioner Kelly said: "The scholarship fund will serve as a living memorial to the courage and commitment of two brave Auxiliary Officers who made the ultimate sacrifice."

The scholarship fund is designed to promote higher education among Auxiliary Police Officers.  The NYPD's Scholarship Committee will establish the criteria and determine the recipients of the scholarships.  The fund is established in the names of APO Pekearo and APO Marshalik to receive donations from the public to provide scholarships for current and future members of the Auxiliary Unit. The scholarship fund will be administered by the NYC Police Foundation.

Anyone interested in donating to the "Auxiliary Police Schlarship Fund" can send checks to:
