The answer is yes.
This picture (which is somewhat cropped by virtue of my photo of it) is from pages 98-99 in Joel Meyerowitz's book of ground zero photos Aftermath. There are two captions, one naming each of the detectives of the NYPD Arson and Explosion Squad in the photograph and the other providing the following background:

Not only were the NYPD's arson and explosion experts on site, but they were the ones who were pushing hardest to create and preserve a photographic record of the rubble! Has anyone from AE911Truth ever attempted to interview any of these detectives to see if they saw any evidence of explosive devices at Ground Zero?If angels wore blue and carried guns, they'd look like these guys! Like no other cops I met down there, the men of the Arson and Explosion Squad trusted that what I wanted to do at Ground Zero was on the up and up. They, too, believed in the importance of making a record of the aftermath, and they helped make it possible--risking serious consequences from their superiors by disobeying orders. If it were not for them, there would be no book in your hands now and no World Trade Center Archive for posterity. Besides benefiting from their protection, I enjoyed hanging out with them. New York Detectives have seen it all and heard it all, and out that experience comes humor, wisdom, courage, hard observation, and a genuine tenderness bordering on the poetic. I learned a lot from them and I'm grateful to know those still in service. Thank you, again.
