The NYPD is represented in big defensive civil rights cases like this by the NYC Law Department, which is a city agency that (among other things) acts as outside counsel for other city agencies and employees. Basically the city equivalent of the state Attorney General.
The NYPD does also have its own internal law department, but they don't handle big litigations like this one.

edit: my friend says it's ny law dept's divison of "special federal litigtation", so you're right.
