Bongino wasn’t a ny cop, he worked with them, not entirely sure what that means but he wasn’t a cop. We all know he went on to secret service.
Nonetheless it will be interesting to hear their take.

New York City Police Department
Daniel began his career with the NYPD in 1995 as a Police Cadet while attending the City University of New York full time. During his tenure in the Cadet program, Daniel was a member of the distinguished pattern identification unit which specialized in the identification and apprehension of serial criminals. Daniel also performed many hours of undercover operations in a number of New York City’s communities. Daniel graduated from the Cadet program and became a full time Police Officer in 1997, where he graduated with honors from the New York City Police Academy. Daniel spent the next two years patrolling the streets of Brooklyn, New York where he saw first-hand the devastation of years of failed social policy and experimentation. He would never see the world the same way again after his experiences with the good citizens of Brooklyn. Daniel left the NYPD with official commendations for both meritorious and excellent police duty.
Bongino was NYPD 1995 to 1999.
