The year 1998 is associated with which milestone?

• A. School Safety merged with NYPD
• B. First formal uniform introduced
• C. SPO status granted
• D. Patrol Boroughs expanded

Answer: (A)

The main idea this item tests is how school safety governance changed in 1998. In that year, School Safety was brought into the NYPD, merging the school safety function with the police department. This created a single, unified command for campus safety, allowing standardized training, shared resources, and a more coordinated response to incidents on school grounds. The merger meant that school safety operations aligned with broader police procedures, improving accountability and the ability to protect students and staff. Other changes mentioned happened at different times, not in 1998, so they don’t match the milestone described by the year in question.
