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 Servivimus", 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.

Gofundme for Detective Marte
https://www.gofundme.com/detective-ariel-marte
This will go toward the funeral cost and whatever additional costs and bills that Ariel’s wife and children will endure.
Detective Ariel Marte was a dedicated, hardworking cop. But moreover, he was a phenomenal person. His smile and his infectious personality made him the life of the party and the shining light in the room. Ariel would always go out of his way to help his friends and family. He was a dedicated father that would take his children everywhere with him. He made sure his family was well taken care of. Many of us can remember the great times and the imprint that Ariel left in our lives.
Now that he is no longer able to take care of duty of a cop in protecting the city and more importantly unable to take care of his family, we must take the responsibility to help out. Any donation will be helpful.
