'Drunk' NYPD Officer Returned to Full Duty

i'm glad the officer did what he did and remember he was off duty. the only thing i wonder about is if he was on duty and failed that breath test, would he still be let off with a slap on the wrist? NYPD has some great officers, but they and their unions also have a long history of covering up bad behavior. i don't think this was that type of case though.

I'm glad to see they made things right. That was a prime example of how upper management could have fried him for doing his job. The detective could have ignored the assault and nobody would have known any different but he did the right thing. Good for the NYPD. Hopefully they continue to back their officers up.

Davison is a good cop. NYPD should scrap this ridiculous regulation. Are they going to next start breath testing on-duty cops involved in a shooting?

How about testing all cops involved in car accidents?

How about testing every cop involved in a fight, on or off duty? How stupid can they get?

Why not let first line supervisors judge each case on an individual basis and use common sense. It's not against the law to have a few drinks off duty. Would they rather have let the thugs kill this guy?

I'm glad they came to their senses and dropped the investigation, but it should never have happened in the first place.

Ifeel the officer acted appropriately doing what he had to as an officer. Being an officer is a 24/7 commitment. As to the comment about allowing the crime of violence to continue and call 911, that is ridiculous. Great job detective and the admin at NYPD

GOOD JOB NYPD!!..

It's always good to hear that Police Officers still have hope in this line of work. Continue to show support for your men and women in law enforcement. Once again to the hero, GOOD JOB!!

Thank God for common sense to prevail!

Do you think for one minute that the guy who was getting the sh*t knocked out of him cared if the person who saved his life had a few drinks ? I can assure you he didn't !!

Why not administer the Breathalyzer test the brASS when they return from their 2 hour "lunches" with their endowed secretaries? Perhaps then they will make honest, moral, and ethical decisions that have POSITIVE effects on THEIR officers and not make them (the brASS) look good.

Det. Ivan Davison, ya did good brother! Threat neutralized, book the crook, 10-8!
