September 2001 taught the world what a lot of us who lived in the New Jersey/New York area have known for years. That the New York Police Department really does live up to its name as “New York’s Finest”, and the New York Fire Department does live up to its name as “New York’s Bravest”.

Yes, having lived in this area all my life, I’ve had my run-ins with traffic and parking tickets. On the other hand, when you really need them, they’re always there.

Unlike other police officers in a certain neighboring state, whenever I’ve needed help from a New York City police officer, I’ve always been treated respectfully and courteously. And seeing them on duty in the wee hours of the morning is always a comforting sight.

These NYPD Toy Cars are a great playset for the kids in your life, and as an official licensed product, a portion of the sales go right to the NYPD.

Similarly the NYFD Playset has a great big red fire engine and a terrific fire chief car, all with perfect attention to detail. A portion of the sales go to the NYFD. What better present for the little guy in your life?
