Michael Joseph Codd (April 16, 1916 – August 29, 1985) was an American law enforcement officer who served as New York City Police Commissioner from 1974 to 1977.

Less than a year later he was drafted into the United States Army and served in the military police during World War II, rising to the rank of provost marshal for Western India.

[11] 20 officers were accused of misconduct during the protests and the head of the PBA was fined $7,500 and placed on one-year probation for refusing an assignment and picketing while on duty.

[2][12] Codd led the department during the New York City blackout of 1977, which saw over 2,000 looting incidents and an estimated $1 billion in losses.

[16] Following the arrest of David Berkowitz, Codd promoted 25 officers for their work in the case and awarded 193 members of the department certificates of merit.

[19] Codd announced his resignation on December 1, 1977, to allow incoming mayor Ed Koch to appoint his own commissioner.

[20] In 1981, the board approved Codd and 113 other "heart bill" pensions after a ruling by the New York Court of Appeals.
