Hello, this is a reminder.

[@JENNIFERGOTTI]

Impressive lady.

I could not find any evidence of Fatima Japa being a cardiologist. The NYPD X post shows her as a cardiologist at Columbia Presbyterian, but records show Fatima Japa, M.D., was a physician in the Dominican Republic and likely earned her M.D. there. She is a medical/surgical assistant in New York, not a licensed physician. I do not denigrate her service as an assistant, nor her service as an auxiliary police officer, but there is no evidence she is a physician in the United States. To do that would require her to complete a residency program and subspecialty training as a licensed physician, and she has apparently not done that. NYPD need to be careful about vetting information like this.

Just an fyi don’t quit your job Auxiliary is volunteer you will not get paid, you will not be issued a firearm you’re just the eyes and ears for the department that’s it and if you’re thinking about joining don’t bother with auxiliary just got right into the academy and I say this because this is what a sgt from the midtown Calvary told me

If someone has a degree from college if someone is in the military doesn't make sense to join the department that is crazy stay with your career in the military and pursue your career after graduation from college this doesn't make sense to join the department if people have one of these careers it doesn't make sense to leave it to join it doesn't make sense no way it's not even worth it

They need to give Auxillary police officers more power. A little stick isnt going to help them or anyone.
