MELROSE (WABC) -- In an Eyewitness News exclusive, the NYPD says an investigation is underway after an eyewitness reported seeing New York City police officers, some still in uniform, drinking in public after their shifts in the Bronx.
The incident happened outside the 42nd Precinct in the Melrose section.
Xavier Johnson says he was walking along Washington Avenue around 8 a.m. on Sunday, August 10, on his way to file a complaint at the precinct, when he spotted the group of seven to 12 men having a few cold ones outside. So he went inside and told a lieutenant.

(11,649 posts)i always wonder about "cop bars". they seem to do a lot of drinking and i wonder if they have a designated driver.
my friend's brother is a retired cop and also a recovering alcoholic.

(31,207 posts)I saw them drinking while on duty. This was in the theatre district while the shows were in progress. Sardi's was a very popular place for them.

(9,998 posts)My date worked in the court system. Drinking was EPIC! and not quality hooch, either - more like "well" brands from a dive bar, and lots of Natty Light-ish beer.
I fell down on the dance floor, and I was in better shape than most.
