NYPD Pipes and Drums

The NYPD Pipes and Drums is an American pipe band made up of active and retired police officers of the New York City Police Department (NYPD).

In 2017 and 2025 it performed at the United States presidential inauguration parade for President Donald Trump.

"[9] In April 2002, the band hosted what the London Daily Telegraph described as "One of the largest invasions of pipers and drummers that the world has seen," as a 9/11 memorial.

Pipe and drum bands from 26 countries numbering thousands of musicians marched down New York's Sixth Avenue.

[10] In 1986, the NYPD Pipes and Drums decided not to participate in a commemoration of the 1981 Irish hunger strike by supporters of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) held in Bundoran in the south of County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland, on August 31, 1986.
