Curatola let her guard down
In Season 2, Episode 6, "Lonely Hearts Club," Danny Reagan and Jackie Curatola catch the case of a serial killer murdering escorts. At some point in their investigation, someone points out that the victims all look like Detective Curatola. A plan is devised to send her in as bait to lure the killer out of hiding and catch him in the act.
While Danny's big brother tendencies (https://www.looper.com/763186/the-worst-family-dinner-scene-in-blue-bloods-season-5/) have him initially oppose the plan, it ultimately goes ahead, and Curatola spends an evening with dates showing up and being turned away. Just when the team decides to call it quits and start packing everything up to try again, a last minute date shows up, and Curatola sends him away. In a moment of complacency, the date gets the jump on her, drugging her in the room. The killer turns out to be two killers, as a mother and son team believed they were doing the women a favor by removing them from terrible lives.
The big mistake here was the complacency that every cop is likely trained to avoid. Curatola let her guard down long enough for a mother-son team, essentially new at killing, to be able to get the drop on a senior detective. Curatola was lucky Reagan broke into the room in the nick of time to rescue her. For one of the best detectives on the force, this was a massive misstep that nearly cost her her life.
