Mayor
de Blasio ordered his NYPD security detail to repeatedly take his son
back and forth from Yale University during his first years at school,
the Daily News has learned.
Executive Protection Unit detectives drove Dante de Blasio to or from New Haven, Conn., at least seven or eight times, the sources with direct knowledge said. Members of the detail also took Dante to visit his uncle, who lives nearby, sources said. Dante faced no security risks at the time, the sources said.
“If the commanding officer of the 75 (precinct) said, ‘move my kid to college,’ do you really think that wouldn’t kill his career? But because it’s the mayor, everyone just does it,” a former member of the detail said.
The revelation comes four months after The News exclusively reported that members of the unit moved de Blasio’s daughter, Chiara, out of an apartment in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
Sources said Dante — who the mayor hired as a paid policy analyst for his failed presidential campaign — only made the 75-mile trip to Yale with cops during his first year at the Ivy League university.
At some point during his sophomore year, Dante decided he preferred traveling on his own by train, sources said. Members of the detail often picked him up from Penn Station when he returned to town.
Another former member of the unit described the trips as “a courtesy” that were not questioned.
“There was no justification,” the former member said. “If you were told to bring him home from Yale, that’s what we did.”

Keep electing Democrats and your money will go to educating and transporting their children to wherever they decide to go. Shameful!
His daughter attended Berkeley, and his son Yale. So the mayor of NYC does not think much of his own city's colleges.
Just because you are mayor of a big city that alone doesn't mean that you deserve all the protection in the world. If your son or daughter received credible threats, then maybe they can receive a security detail to protect them to and from school. I dont think this was the case with Dante.
Dante needed police protection from other police
Can I call a Blue and White cab when I want to go to market
Both the deBlasio's kids have Italian first names - Dante and Chiara. So why did the missus, Chirlaine, nix the Mother Cabrini statue proposal favored by the Italian-Amwerican communita? Something psychological going on here on the part of the African-American spouse? Doctor Freud where are you?
Stop the BS !!! He needed that protection for a short time, as a parent he’s protecting his child from a crazy Republican that will go to any length to cause damage!!!
@George
I can picture Bill and Chirlie in Park Slope the night he won in 2013
Chirlie: I let you name the offspring, now you let me control all the budgets.
Bill: Ok honey.
Also what he thinks of the NYPD. Movers, cab drivers. What a pathetic joke this Warren Wilhelm jr character is. What a FAKE.
Blacks cannot be racist, and Democrats cannot be corrupt. Didn't you serfs get the memo?
Alan Hevesi was criminally charged for using the state police to transport his sick wife. Why is it different with the mayor using the NYPD as a car and moving service?
He looks like a thug, I wonder what kind of payola & special interests landed him in Yale on our dollar.
This administration is far worse then the Boss Tweeds shenanigan's.
"He needed that protection for a short time"
That's kind of correct in a convoluted way.
Any kid that looks like that needs protection from both the gangs and police.
Sheriff Katsorhis was fined because he asked his staff to fix his son's laptop for school
Anyone got Velcro
Velcro? How about a Chia pet?
Because "Italian-Amwerican communita" sounds like Italian-am-wickan
