Daniel Rodriguez, known as "the singing policeman," is a New York City police officer and dedicated musical amateur who is combining his love for music with his avocation as one of New York's finest.
Rodriguez grew up listening to Mario Lanza, and studied voice for a time with some of the same coaches Lanza used. But Rodriguez was forced to abandon his dream of a career in music when the reality of supporting his young family finally outweighed his ambition to become an artist. In 1995, Daniel Rodriguez joined the New York City Police Department which has a policy of not ignoring the extracurricular talents of their officers. The NYPD maintains a staff of about a half-dozen "singing" police officers to perform at city functions as a matter of routine. Rodriguez soon joined this elite force.
Rodriguez was on duty when the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center
collapsed in the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001.
