According to the agencies, hundreds of NYPD and FDNY employees were on leave from their city jobs to serve in the military. These first responders had diverse assignments, from protecting critical infrastructure like bridges and tunnels to being deployed overseas for combat or training missions. Many people may not be aware that thousands of first responders are also military service members. The NYPD alone had over 1,212 employees active in the reserves or National Guard, who could be called to overseas duty at any time.
