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.

VCF UPDATE A CALL TO ACTION
Get on the phones!
As you are likely aware, the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to pass the legislation to extend and fully fund the VCF. While this was a very important step in the process the critical next step is getting this bill through the U.S. Senate for a vote before they leave session in early August, and we need your help.
Yesterday, Senator Gillibrand and Senator Schumer tried to bring the bill up on the Senate Floor by Unanimous consent. Senator Rand Paul objected, demanding that the bill be offset to pay for the program. Also placing a hold on the bill, but not on the floor yesterday is Senator Mike Lee of Utah.
You should know that Senator McConnell is working to fulfill his commitment to pass the bill before the August Recess.
Senator Mike Lee of Utah is standing in the way of helping injured and ill 911 responders, survivors and their families
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is standing in the way of helping injured and ill 911 responders, survivors and their families
Senators Mike Lee and Rand Paul are both blocking the passage of our Bill: S.546 - Never Forget the Heroes: Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act.
Please call them relentlessly! TELL THEM “NEVER FORGET” IS NOT JUST A CAMPAIGN SLOGAN! DON’T BLOCK PASSAGE OF S.546!
Lee, Mike, (R – Utah)
The office of Senator Lee can be reached at: 202-224-5444
Or use this tool to call them:
Paul, Rand, (R - Kentucky)
The office of Senator Paul can be reached at: 202-224-4343
Or use this tool to call them:
Phone calls and contacts mean a lot, especially from constituents because politics are local even for Senators. Please feel free to call them yourself, even if you do not live in their district. We also ask that you share this information, post it on your social media accounts, and give it to anyone that you know who does live in those states and ask for their assistance. We want them all "politely" reminded of the importance of this legislation. We believe that we are very close to getting this done, but we cannot rest until the Senate has passed the bill and the President has signed in into legislation.
Thank you.
