Bewhiskered New York City cops are dusting off their safety razors ahead of the reinstatement of the department's ban on beards, which is set to go into effect June 17.

Fox News joined the NYPD on a ride-along in Queens, New York, to get to the heart of the surge in crime committed by illegal migrants in an area officers call a "hot spot."

Bernardo Raul Castro Mata appeared in court via a live video feed from his hospital bed, where he is recovering from being shot in the ankle.

The NYPD plans to use police drones not just for surveillance bait for also providing quick aid during life-threatening situations.

Andre Mayfield, the man shot to death by police in Brooklyn over the weekend, was suffering from mental illness, according to his father, who criticized the cop response as excessive.

Giovonnie Mayo, 29, is charged with gun possession for allegedly pulling the weapon on a woman outside a store in Brownsville.

The officers were at a domestic violence call in the Bushwick neighborhood when the man tapped on their car window to get their attention, police said at a press conference.

The man dropped one of the knives as he fell to the ground but held on to the second blade as he got back up and charged the cops, officials said.

The tense confrontation started when two NYPD detectives came upon the man pointing a gun at a woman outside a Brownsville store.

The 26-year-old man allegedly approached officers in Bushwick around 2 a.m. Sunday with two knives, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said.
