Police officials are examining how a German porn actress got to explore sensitive parts of One Police Plaza.

NEW YORK — A German porn star's recent visit to NYPD headquarters has aroused suspicions among police officials.
The police department is examining how the actress Annina Ucatis got to explore sensitive portions of One Police Plaza on a recent visit to New York, NYPD First Deputy Commissioner Benjamin Tucker said Thursday.
"We are looking into it and we’ll get to the bottom of it," Tucker said at an unrelated news conference.

Ucatis, the 40-year-old star of such films as "Inside Annina" and "Busty C--- Worshippers 2," documented her intimate look at the NYPD's operations on Instagram within roughly the last week.
She posted photos and video from inside the Real Time Crime Center and a hallway outside Commissioner James O'Neill's office despite a department rule barring civilians from recording or photographing police activity in NYPD facilities.

"I have only heard the beginning of this and I don’t like what I hear," Mayor Bill de Blasio said. "I don’t understand how on earth this could have happened."
Tucker said he did not learn of Ucatis' visit until Wednesday evening and did not know who arranged her trip to the police department's nerve center. Most of the areas she visited are not generally open to the public.
But The New York Post reported Wednesday that Deputy Inspector Anthony Raganella set up the tour as a favor to friends in another state's police department. He was reportedly identified as the man who posed for a photo with Ucatis.
Raganella, a 24-year NYPD veteran, is the commanding officer of the Disorder Control Unit, which handles crowd control at protests, emergency scenes and other major events. Patch was unable to reach him for comment Thursday.
Ucatis told the Post that a friend hooked her up with the tour but reportedly denied her pal is part of the police force. She did not immediately respond to an Instagram message seeking comment.
