Boudreaux Bob;
They also have Agusta 119's you know.....N318PD being one of them.
Last time I checked that was a single engine aircraft.
At one time they had eight of them, two 412's as well.
Oh dear Bob, you're not really up with the times are you?

The NYPD currently uses the AgustaWestland A119 Koala helicopter. These will be traded in to help offset the cost of the department's new Bell 429s.

… and why do they say they are doing that?
The double engine Bell 429 is considered safer than the single-engine AgustaWestland helicopters being replaced.
