James Byrne first joined the NYPD in 2001, mere weeks before the 9/11 terror attacks that changed the way New Yorkers would live their lives forever.
Soon after the World Trade Center was destroyed and thousands of lives were lost, the police department would see a boom in new recruits. However, Byrne was already fresh out of graduation and was assigned to stand guard not far from ground zero where he would check local resident’s IDs to ensure they could pass back and forth. It was here when he said he discovered the true meaning of the career he had chosen.
Over a 23-year career, Byrne worked his way through the ranks from a beat cop to the police commissioner’s personal adviser. Now he is joining the United States Secret Service in a newly created position.Byrne described the early 2000s as a time during which the Big Apple pulled together, which only reinforced the feeling that he had chosen the right line of work.
However, Byrne says that adventure has come to an end. Feeling he has reached the pinnacle of his career and having experienced what he cites as unforgettable moments during his journey, the detective says he feels the time was right to move on to the next big adventure, something Caban himself lamented.
“I got to hear from him his thoughts on things and make sure that we captured that in the messaging. It was truly a great adventure,’ Byrne said of Caban.For the very first time, the United States Secret Service has set up field offices throughout several different states, including New York City.
