STOP AND FRISKY
Porn star gets private tour of NYPD Headquarters, posts pics online
The NYPD usually has strict rules about not photographing in the p r iva te conf ines of its headquarters, but that appears to have gone out the window for German porn star Annina Ucatis.
Hide the handcuffs! A German porn star got a private tour of the most intimate areas of NYPD Headquarters — freely taking pictures and videos and posting them on Instagram, The Post has learned.
Annina Ucatis’ sneak peek of One Police Plaza — and the nearby Security Coordination Center at 55 Broadway — on Columbus Day was confirmed by the skin-flick star herself when reached through the social-media site.
“It was just a quick stopping there. I love NYC very much and am interested in getting to know the city better,” wrote the blond bombshell, 40, whose credits include “Big Tit A-List” (2009) and “Fast & Sexy” (2008), but who has mostly appeared on reality television since 2011.
“A friend of mine arranged the tour for me.”
Ucatis refused to identify her hookup and insisted he doesn’t work for the NYPD, but one of the photos features her posing in the lobby of the lower Manhattan cop shop alongside a suited mystery man wearing a grin and what appears to be an official identification badge on his left lapel.
That shot — along with one of a smirking Ucatis leaning against a memorial to 9/11’s fallen Finest — was taken in the building’s lobby, which non-cops can typically access only after passing through a screening room in which they present ID, state the reason for their visit and walk through a metal detector.
At one point in a threeminute video posted to Ucatis’ Instagram for her 3,500 followers to see, the camera zooms in and out on a sign posted in front of One Police Plaza reading “NYPD Personnel Only.”
But other snaps and the video feature sensitive locations deeper in the cop hub — past a second security checkpoint — including the inside of the second-floor Real Time Crime
Center, from which cops monitor incidents across the city.
Ucatis didn’t just get unparalleled access — she was able to film inside the NYPD nerve center. “What’s on those screens appear to be stuff that generally should not be in view by the public,” said a high-ranking police source. “911 calls and information given by the victim is typed into the system. What victim wants their personal information read by everyone?” asked the source.
“It’s the equivalent of having an unauthorized person behind the precinct desk.” But the tour didn’t stop there. Ucatis also posted shots outside top cop James O’Neill’s 14th-floor office, wearing a sly smile while posing in front of a glass window frosted with a police shield reading “Commissioner.”
Ucatis said she never got the opportunity to meet O’Neill because he wasn’t in at the time. But the source questioned why she was even in a position to do so. “What’s even more bizarre is how did she get on the 14th floor?” the source wondered.
“I can’t go up there without being invited up. There are other offices there, but it’s high-level positions. It would be very awkward for me to show up on the 14th floor without an invite.”
In 2018, the NYPD issued new guidelines banning civilians from recording video inside precinct station houses.
The department declined to comment on whether filming was allowed inside One Police Plaza and ignored other questions about the tour.
Ucatis, who was vacationing in New York at the time, told The Post she didn’t see what the big deal was, describing her visit to a part of the city most New Yorkers will never see as “really interesting.”
She insisted that she was recording video only for her own entertainment and not a project, saying, “I do all the film stuff only for fun.”
