Seems the NYPD Is losing cops by the thousand as corrupt De Blasio and Cuomo allow the continued attack on cops to continue. The NYPD has seen at least 5,300 officers retire or put in their papers to leave since last year. This is a spike of 75% over the previous year, which wasn’t exactly a great year to be an NYPD officer either.
New York all the filthy New York communists who continue to elect officals who support abuse of the NYPD deserve exactly what you get.
The exodus — amid the pandemic, anti-cop hostility, riots and a skyrocketing number of NYC shootings — saw 2,600 officers say goodbye to the job and another 2,746 file for retirement, a combined 5,346.
In 2019, the NYPD had 1,509 uniformed officers leave and 1,544 file for retirement, for a total of 3,053.
The departures and planned departures of 5,300 officers represents about 15 percent of the force. Already, as of April 5, the NYPD headcount of uniformed officers has dropped to 34,974 from 36,900 in 2019.
Through April 21 of this year, 831 cops have retired or filed to leave — and many more are expected to follow suit in the current anti-cop climate, according to Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
