Demography Unit consists of 16 elected officials who speak at least 5 languages.
Working closely with the CIA, NYPD (New York Police Department) made a list of "genealogical interest" and deploy undercover officers to monitor corporate and social groups are Muslim. This was revealed from a number of new documents on intelligence programs that have so far denied the NYPD.
The documents added new details to the Associated Press investigation that revealed how the cops made undercover NYPD Muslim communities as targets of surveillance and infiltration.
Demographics Unit, the name of the special forces, is a squad that consists of 16 elected officials who speak at least 5 languages. They were ordered to map the ethnic minority communities in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut and identify where they socialize, shop, and worship.
"There is no such unit," said police spokesman Paul Browne. "No one ever called Demography Unit."
Internal police documents say otherwise. An NYPD presentation materials that are distributed within the department, for example, describes the mission and workings of the Demographic Unit. Undercover officers were instructed to search not just evidence of terrorism, but also identify the ethnicity of the owners of the company and eavesdrop on conversations in cafes in ethnic minority communities.

Once the analysis was completed, according to a number of documents obtained by AP, the NYPD will "lower the plainclothes officers to infiltrate into the ethnic community."
The architect of these programs is a veteran CIA agent. He is also supervising the implementation of this program for the NYPD with a salary from the CIA. Operating system is somewhat unusual, given the CIA prohibited from operating a spy inside the U.S. territory.
Following AP report appeared, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the NYPD trying to maintain the security of the city and did not include religious elements in their operations. NYPD denies the existence of the Demographic Unit.
