Probably not. NYPD hasn't had an officer killed in the line of duty since September.

Also, officers "May wear black elastic mourning band, 1⁄2 inch wide, on the shield, covering the seal of the city, but leaving the shield number or rank designation visible, upon the death of a member."

Former co-worker of mine was a one-time cop turned TV reporter. She was on-air reporting live from a riot and it went something like this:

Reporter: The crowd has gathered on Congress and police are working to push them back, and AH!
Anchor: Donna, are you OK?
Reporter: Yes, sorry, just got shot in the leg. Anyway, police are working to move the crowd...

She got hit with a wooden bullet fired by police. The welt the next day was impressive as hell.
