It was during the 1950s that the movement for Emerald Societies took hold with the formation of the NYPD Emerald Society (March 16, 1953), NYCD Emerald Society (November 17, 1955), and FDNY Emerald Society (March 17, 1956). The Emerald movement led to the formation of Emerald Societies in New York and nationwide.
The NYCD Emerald Society was organized on November 17, 1955, by our 1st President, James Mulvey, and is the second oldest Emerald Society.
Since our beginning in 1955, our main goals have been to teach and preserve Irish culture, promote our ancestors’ contributions, recognize Irish Americans’ accomplishments in law enforcement, and promote educational advancement for our families through scholarships.
Our membership comprises active/retired uniformed members of service (UMOS) and civilian members of the Correction Department of New York City who have Irish Lineage or have an “Irish Spirit.”
