According to Al-Monitor, an online newspaper reporting on the Middle
East, the NYPD has now officially opened a branch in Israel's Sharon
District Police headquarters in Kfar Saba, with former Israeli and
veteran NYPD detective, Charlie Ben-Naim. From Al-Monitor:

Ben-Naim was chosen for the mission of opening the NYPD branch in
Israel. He is a veteran detective of the NYPD and a former Israeli who
went to study in New York, married a local city resident and then
joined the local police force. Among the things he has dealt with in
the line of duty are the extradition of criminals, the transmitting of
intelligence information and assistance in the location of missing
persons, both in the United States and in Israel.

So far, Ben-Naim looks to be the sole officer stationed at the so-
called branch, which has reportedly been organized in order to stay in
close contact with Israeli police.

NYPD presence in foreign nations is nothing new. When planning to post
more officers abroad, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said in 2010, "The
NYPD has a great brand overseas. There's high expectations that come
with these postings and we want to meet it, so that means a very
careful selection process on our end."

Officers have been stationed in London, Lyons, Hamburg, Toronto, and
Tel Aviv, New York Magazine reports.

Several FBI officials have raised concerns that NYPD operatives abroad
consistently break the laws of foreign governments.

Stateside the department has been under intense scrutiny for its
surveillance efforts, which many civil liberties advocates say
wrongfully target innocent Muslims, without creating any known leads.
