Fourth-generation NYPD cop to graduate Monday, continuing family’s century of policing

This aspiring cop is about to join the family business.

When 25-year-old Michael McCarthy graduates from the New York City Police Academy on Monday, he’ll be the fourth generation of his family to tack on a patrolman’s shield and keep watch over the Big Apple’s chaotic streets.

“I never pressured him,” said Kevin McCarthy, Michael’s dad and a retired NYPD cop who worked in the Bronx. “My father never pushed the job on us, and I didn’t push him.”

Of course, that didn’t stop his son from marching down the same path that so many McCarthy boys, and a girl, had walked before.

And that’s a point of family pride.
