School Safety First Trimester Practice Exam

In what year did School Safety merge with NYPD?

1996 1994 2000 1998

Correct Answer:

1998

Explanation:

This question is asking when School Safety became part of the NYPD. The merge happened in 1998, when the School Safety unit was integrated into the New York City Police Department to create a single, coordinated approach to safeguarding schools. Before then, School Safety operated separately under the Department of Education, with officers focused specifically on schools but not under police command. The 1998 integration brought these officers under NYPD supervision, standardizing training, procedures, and response to incidents across all city schools. The other years listed don’t reflect this organizational shift; they correspond to other events or reforms, not the merger itself.
