NYU Langone expressed regret, said no one was denied care, and noted the injured officer received treatment after being asked to temporarily secure his weapon per hospital policy; the hospital declined to detail planned retraining. Elected officials-including Councilwoman vickie Paladino and former Mayor Eric Adams-condemned the episode, and the incident comes amid a citywide nurses&#8217; strike over pay, staffing, and safety.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">NYPD commissioner demands hospital retrain staff who withheld treatment from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-sheriffs-tell-newsom-they-wont-enforce-covid-curfew\/\" title=\"California Sheriffs Tell Newsom They Won&#039;t Enforce COVID Curfew\">police officers<\/a><\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2480910\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nypd\/\">New York City Police Department<\/a> Commissioner Jessica Tisch is demanding that a Brooklyn <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hospitals\/\">hospital<\/a> retrain all of its staff after emergency room personnel mistreated NYPD officers whom they mistook for <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ice\">Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> officers.

A spokesperson for NYU Langone told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> that it had &ldquo;expressed regret&rdquo; over the incident, and that none of the officers were ultimately denied care. They did not specify what exact conduct the hospital apologized for.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In this case, no one was denied care. Last Friday, three plainclothes NYPD officers came to our Cobble Hill ED, with one of them seeking care. We provided care to the injured officer, who was asked to temporarily secure his weapon, as per our policy. The other two officers were allowed to keep their weapons. NYU Langone always values the opportunity to provide care to members of law enforcement,&rdquo; the hospital spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>The NYU Langone spokesperson refused to provide further comment on the incident or retraining. The hospital said that in 2025, it provided emergency room care to about 1,000 NYPD officers.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In our discussion with the Commissioner, we expressed our regret for how the situation was handled and reaffirmed our commitment to continue providing the highest quality care to the New York Police Department and all <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/police-and-law-enforcement\/\">law enforcement<\/a> agencies,&rdquo; the hospital spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>The DEA, the labor union representing NYC detectives, said it was launching an investigation into the incident and will &ldquo;pursue all available remedies to ensure our members are treated with the dignity and respect they have earned.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The three officers went to NYU Langone for care on Friday after a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/01\/21\/us-news\/nypd-cops-disrespected-at-big-apple-hospital-after-being-mistaken-for-ice-agents\/\">drug suspect<\/a> spat <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/2026\/01\/21\/nypd-criticizes-brooklyn-hospital-nyu-langone-health-after-cops-who-sought-care-felt-disrespected\/\">blood<\/a> on them, according to the <em>New York Daily News<\/em> and the <em>New York Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Republican NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VickieforNYC\/status\/2014111147247513694?s=20\">wrote on X<\/a> that the hospital staff &ldquo;refused to treat&rdquo; the officers. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;From what I understand, staff supposedly did this because they thought the NYPD officers might have been &lsquo;ICE agents&rsquo; as if that is a valid excuse to refuse a patient.
