David Cohen is the New York City Police Department Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence. Photos of Cohen are rare, he reportedly hates publicity and is not a fan of civil liberties. He is a former CIA Director of Operations and Deputy Director of the Directorate of Intelligence. The NYPD web site says only, year after year, "Deputy Commissioner David Cohen's biography will be posted soon." NYC statement on Cohen's appointment:

He spent 35 years with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) before joining the firm. During his career at the CIA, Cohen guided the agency's operations and analysis functions. He also served as the senior CIA official in the New York area.

From 1995 to 1997, Cohen directed the CIA's Directorate of Operations, where he oversaw the agency's worldwide operations, managed the CIA's global network of offices and personnel, and maintained agency relationships with foreign intelligence and security services. From 1991 to 1995, Cohen was deputy director of the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence, where he guided the agency's analysis program, which reviewed every political, economic, and military assessment prepared by the CIA for the President and his senior national security advisors. Cohen's career at the CIA was marked by his leadership in combating global terrorism, international organized crime, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
