The following lists of names of persons and institutions are provided, where a search for the name may provide relevant records:

Please note as well that the NYPD Major Case Squad's Organized Crime Homicide Unit (OCHU) no longer exists.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
