  New York City Police Department Highway Patrol - Medbib.com, the modern encyclopedia
The NYPD Highway Patrol's origins begin in 1911 with the formation of the NYPD's first motorcycle squad, which was formed to meet the challenges of handling increasing traffic danger concomitant with the rise of automobile use.
The NYPD Highway Patrol is currently divided into five command units which correspond with the five boroughs of the city -- Highway Unit #1 in the Bronx, Highway Unit #2 in Brooklyn, Highway Unit #3 in Queens, Highway Unit #4 in Manhattan, and Highway Unit #5 in Staten Island.
Highway Patrol vehicles differ from more typical NYPD vehicles in that they feature a larger and more complex moveable light bar on the roof of their vehicles to promote greater visibility on highways as well as to warn oncoming vehicles of the presence of danger or an obstruction.
