Protecting their City and their Country!
Protecting their City and their Country!

| NYTDA members and drivers are acutely aware that trucks are, and have proven to be, a preferred delivery system of weapons of mass destruction by terrorists, both foreign and homegrown. Everything from sophisticated electronically detonated explosives and bio-weapons to homemade bombs can be often easily delivered to high population areas using what appears to be everyday delivery vehicles. Here are some things to look for and to report to our NYPD Nexus partners: |
Dear Members, some months ago NYTDA met with the Terrorist Incident
Prevention Unit of the NYC Police Department Intelligence Division. Our
members and their families come from every corner of the earth. We work and
live here in America, as Americans, and we always, at the very least, have one
thing in common, this is our home! I can report today that many of our members
have joined and many more are in the process, thank you all!
We are proud to announce that NYTDA has joined the Counter-Terrorism
Program, Operation NEXUS, and fully supports this effort.
We encourage NYTDA Members and alliances in the Trucking, Leasing, Delivery
and Service Industry to join NEXUS.
Here is a summary of what NEXUS is and how you can be involved:
As truck and commercial vehicle drivers, you know better than anyone in the
world what looks right and what looks wrong while you are on the road each
day delivering goods and services. If something is out of place, either another
truck on the street or at a customer stop, you may sense it before anyone else.
Report it through this program, it really is that simple and could save you, your
family and the City you live in and countless lives. If it turns out to be nothing,
OK, it was still worth reporting. It is that simple.
If you would like to participate in NEXUS, please call NYTDA today at 718-360-
8754. Your representative will make sure you receive all of the necessary
information and answer any questions you may have. To participate costs
nothing, not to can cost everything!
You will receive:
Official NYPD - NEXUS training information may be found at the links below. You
may also schedule an appointment for a NEXUS representative to visit you at a
convenient time to go over the program in further detail.

| November 11, 2007 Mr. Ken Thorpe Chairman and CEO NYTDA 1706 Sheepshead Bay Road Brooklyn, N.Y. 11235 Dear Mr. Thorpe, Recently, members of the New York City Police Department met with you to explain the NYPD’s counter-terrorism initiative Operation Nexus and request your company’s assistance in disseminating the Operation Nexus message to your membership. I wish to thank you for your assistance in communicating law enforcement’s concerns about unusual customer requests, suspicious inquiries or out-of-the ordinary business transactions and the potential for a link to terrorist activity. Attached is the NYPD Operation Nexus material specific to your membership. An electronic version of this document will also be e-mailed to you by Lieutenant Mario Rivera of the Terrorist Incident Prevention Unit so that you may format it accordingly. Thank you again for your help in protecting our citizens against another terrorist attack. The willingness of your membership to work as partners with the NYPD and law enforcement is extremely vital and greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Raymond W. Kelly Police Commissioner |
