CBS New YorkNEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – CBS News Senior Correspondent John Miller has announced he is leaving the network to return to the NYPD.
Miller has been a senior correspondent with the network since 2011.
As CBS 2′s Jessica Schneider reported, Miller has had a successful career in two fields: television news and law enforcement.
Miller will return to the department under incoming NYPD Commissioner William Bratton. Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio will be sworn in on Jan. 1 and tapped Bratton to once again lead the department. Ray Kelly has served as police commissioner for the past 12 years under Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Miller did not say what his role will be with the department. But on Thursday afternoon, he discussed the need to focus on intelligence against softer terror attacks.
“The trend is leaning towards low-cost, low-tech, high-impact,” Miller told CBS 2 on Thursday afternoon.
According to his official bio on CBSNews.com, Miller briefly served as New York City Deputy Police Commissioner from 1994-1995, when Bratton was commissioner. Miller served as chief spokesman for the department during his tenure with the NYPD.
Miller then returned to work in TV and even scored an interview with Osama bin Laden in 1998.
It was back to law enforcement in 2003 when Miller joined the LAPD under then-chief Bill Brattonas the head of the Counterterrorism and Criminal Intelligence Bureau.
He oversaw the LAPD’S bomb squad, its major crimes division and its hazardous materials unit.
It was at the LAPD where Miller launched a system that helps to identify potential terrorist targets, Schneider reported.
“The message going out from al Qaeda central is not ‘we need you to come here and train up in our camps and be deployed in our operations.’ The message going out is not from al Qaeda as much as it’s al Qaeda-ism, which is do what you can do with the resources you have,” Miller said on Thursday.
Miller previously worked for the FBI and in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, according to his bio. In that role, he worked across the intelligence community with the CIA, FBI and National Security Administration, Schneider reported.
He has spent years reporting on al Qaeda, the Sept. 11 terror attacks and other national security matters.
Since joining CBS News in 2011, Miller has covered major stories like the Times Square bomb plot, the Boston Marathon bombings and the Newtown school shooting, for which CBS will be awarded the prestigious duPont-Columbia award for breaking news coverage.

I’d ask how a NYPD law enforcement officer can become a high level CBS (all seeing eye) news correspondent but since both are Zionist organizations, I can only imagine that this guy’s loyalty is certainly NOT for the people and certainly NOT for America.
I guess he will be coordinating/liasoning with the media and the new NYPD commissioner, in order to make sure that the corruption is hidden and controlled and that no unnecessary police brutality stories will get leaked out and that only Zionist controlled police state propaganda gets put in.
Gee, it’s almost like he is saying, “Let me know when you get a story that follows, enhances or enforces our propaganda. Otherwise, you’re on your own.
Conflict of interest? Nah! No more of a conflict of interest than Bloomberg is as mayor and as someone running a newspaper organization and giving all his info. to Israel.
What a resume!I think he’s a candidate for chairing any new investigation of 9/11 since Kisssinger has already been denied,the Warren commission is dead and Netenyahu is too busy stuffing his pockets with U.S. wealth to care.
You kmow everyone is looking or a leader or a follower.This nation needs about three hundred fifty million leaders and no followers.Don’t attempt to lead me and don’t pretend to follow me.I stink,thereore I am.
