Street Crimes Unit

Street Crimes Unit

The New York Police Department's Street Crimes Unit (motto: "We Own The Night") was an anti-crime unit that gained notoriety after the 1999 killing of Amadou Diallo. The four officers involved in Diallo's killing were all members of the unit. The unit was disbanded in 2002 due to negative publicity from the Diallo scandal. The unit was last headed by Assistant Chief Bruce H. Smolka, who was later promoted. The Street Crimes Unit is now replaced by precinct-based Anti-Crime Units.
