About Us
Our History
The RDNY came into being in April of 1955, when a small group of Retired New York City Detectives decided to get together for a social meeting. As a result of that meeting, the idea of forming an Association that could further assist retired Detectives with retirement benefits and to do charitable work came to fruition.
This group decided to meet again that following month to continue your efforts and also to begin a life long bond that law enforcement officers share, especially Detectives.
The RDNY Incorporated later that same year and became officially known as "The Retired Detectives of the City of New York". They adopted the motto "Fideliter Servimus", which means "We have served faithfully". Today we serve 1400 members and we are recognized as a Fraternal Organization within the Law Enforcement Community.
Present Day:
The RDNY meets every second Wednesday of the month. The location varies from borough to borough. There will be notifications prior to the date.

10-13 For Daughter of Retired Detective
The daughter of retired Det. Samuel Maldonado has pancreatic cancer. Juliene (“Jay”) Maldonado is the 39-year-old mother of a 12-year-old daughter. During and after the attacks on the World Trade Center, Jay worked on John Street in the financial district for the New York City Environmental Control Board (ECB) and it’s a very good possibility that Jay’s cancer is a result of 9/11.
Jay’s friends and family have set up a “Go Fund Me” page called “Jay’s Medical Fund” to assist with her bills resulting from her condition, as well as assist with her family obligations at this critical time.
Anything you can contribute to help the daughter of a Member of the Service will be greatly appreciated
Little Liam Go Fund Me
10-13 for Little Liam
The three-year-old son of Det. Thomas Richards is fighting Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML), a serious and very rare type of blood cancer. A bone marrow transplant is the only hope for success. Liam is facing rounds of chemotherapy followed by the transplant. He will need to be in the hospital for two months while he is undergoing the initial treatment and transplant. Only his mother and father will be able to see him during this time. When released from the hospital, Liam will be at a very high risk of infection and viruses. He will be required to stay home for many months while his immune system recovers.
A “Go Fund Me” page has been established to help off-set the costs and alleviate some of the family’s stress during this grueling process. Any assistance you can render will be greatly appreciated.
DEA ZOOM MEETING REGARDING MEDICARE on YOUTUBE
9/11 Remembered 20 Years Later
Bob Martin honors the heroic first responders, some who lived, and others who made “The Ultimate Sacrifice” on that horrific day, and in the weeks and months that followed. Included among those mentioned are long-time Finest Football Family members, Pete Moog, Steve McAllister, Gerry Ahearn, and long-time fan, Chief Terri Tobin.
All proceeds from the book will be donated to the 3256 Foundation which was established to honor the memory of ESU Sergeant Mike Curtin, a twelve-year active service Marine who was killed at the Trade Center.

The Brittany Devin Heaney Foundation
From the DEA:
The Brittany Devin Heaney Foundation
The Brittany Devin Heaney Foundation was formed in February 2021, after the sudden and devastating passing of Assistant District Attorney Brittany Devin Heaney of the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office. Brittany had planned to be married this May 22, 2021 to the love of her life, Vito Rinaldi, when she unexpectedly died in her sleep from a cardiac arrhythmia at the young age of 30.
Brittany comes from a long line of law enforcement champions. Her parents, Thomas Heaney and Lisa Mazzaro Heaney, are both retired NYPD Detectives, as is her uncle John Heaney. Her great grandfather, Edward W. Devine, was a first grade NYPD Detective; her great uncles Edward Devine and James Devine were NYPD Lieutenants; and her great uncle, William Devine, rose to the position of Police Commissioner.
Brittany devoted herself to seeking justice for victims of sexual assault as an Assistant District Attorney, and the Brittany Devin Heaney Foundation will ensure that her wonderful work continues. Since its formation, the Foundation has raised over $70,000, which will, in part, endow a $50,000 scholarship fund at Brittany’s alma mater, St. John’s University School of Law. Each year, the fund will provide a scholarship to a law student who works at an internship combating sex crimes. The family is now working to raise additional funds to endow a similar scholarship at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, from where Brittany graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology in 2012. It’s also where Brittany met her beloved fiancé Vito.
While the family tragically cannot celebrate their union, the Foundation will support her legacy and continue her mission. Anything you can donate to this worthy cause will be extremely appreciated. If you use Paypal, donations can be sent using the email address giving@bdhfoundation.org If using checks, donations can be mailed to The Brittany Devin Heaney Foundation, P.O. Box 66, Bronx, New York 10470. To donate online, and to read about Brittany and the Foundation, click on Learn More.
On behalf of the Heaney family, Vito, Brittany’s friends, and her colleagues, thank you very much.
