Giuliani. In 1997, the Transit Bureau became the Transit Division within the newly formed Transportation Bureau.

Roll Call (policing)
In police jargon, a roll call is a briefing "where supervisors take attendance, inspect uniform and equipment, inform the oncoming shift of any outstanding incidents that may have occurred, inform officers of suspects to be looking out for, relate any law or procedural changes, and so on." Although often conducted prior to the start of a shift, a roll call may be held at the end of a shift as well. The communication at a roll call is usually top-down, with information disseminated by (or at the direction of) a shift or squad commander. The roll call is just one of several vehicles for intra-departmental communication in law enforcement agencies: other modes include command or administrative staff meetings, quality circles, and unit meetings. Roll calls are "usually limited to recent events or items that might be of short-term interest" and so usually "do not allow for the in-depth discussions necessary for community policing or real problem-solving. In 1992, the Independent Commi ...
