So where is the NYPD

In the original series of Ninja Turtles 1987-1996 why is the NYPD virtually never around

I feel is they actually used the name, they would have had to agree on a license by the NYPD itself as that's a proper name which would cost extra money for MWS/Fred Wolf. Therefore, we mostly see generic "cops" or "police" throughout the series, and there are plenty of them around and are still the NYPD in my heart.

Cops r in that show a lot....Ecspecially in the first couple of season's bc they r being hunted and r wanted by the police, also they r prominent in the red skky era bc they r framed in some eps.

There are some episodes where it's not surprising that the police aren't around, but then there are some where it's just downright weird that they're not around. The main episode that comes to mind is in Leonardo Cuts Loose. No cops anyplace at any of the places Wally Airhead's goons were robbing...like the bank! ><

In most super hero-type shows, the cops and military are generally absent or really inept (with the exception of Batman, maybe?)

Otherwise, there would be no need for extra curricular crime fighters.

In some super hero stories cops can be corrupt. Just watch Batman Begins!

Tbere are several episodes, like the Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang in "Return of the Shredder", where the TMNT just fights the bad guys, tie them up on the street and run away leaving them to the police.
