Early life

Harrison grew up in the South Jamaica section of Queens and joined the NYPD in 1991 as a police cadet. Harrison was sworn in as a police officer with the June 30, 1992 midnight class. The purpose of having that class sworn in one second into July 1st was because the NYC budget goes from July 1st to June 30th. Harrison graduated from the NYC Police Academy on January 12 1993. After graduating, he began patrolling in Astoria, Queens in 1994.[3] He was promoted to detective in 1995, including internal affairs before worked in various detective commands in Brooklyn.
