A retired NYPD detective warned Tuesday that officers are leaving the force in droves for "greener pastures" over the soft-on-crime policies that have affected policing and public safety as a whole.


According to NYPD pension fund data, there were 1,236 officers that retired in 2020, and 1,064 in 2021.

...

In 2022 so far, there have already been 1,472 officers who have retired.

...

New York City has seen a surge of 25.8% so far in 2022.

NYPD officers "leaving in droves

Perfect. The Left can tick that box. Their plan is coming together.

Google tells me there are 36,000 officers in NYPD so that's 4% retired so far this year. What's their rate of newly commissioned officers or transfers in? Although new recruits will obviously take lots of time to get up to speed, the old ones still need to be replaced. I'd also be curious to see what the normal turnover rate is for other major metros.

The article didn't say, and I'm having trouble finding those numbers.

They are probably also leaving because they are actually forced to do foot patrols right now, never seen so many NYPD since Adams was elected.

this should be a funny form of poetic justice when juxtaposed with the skyscreaming gun control nuts. but i cant laugh, cause this just paves the way for their end goal: a national police force

NYC is Sodom
Well San Fran is

But NYC
Deserves everything because they vote like chit

The hate crimes on Asians

The sucker punches on people walking down the street
They deserve everything

Wall street
As it crashes maybe they won't be able to pay folks either the kind of money.

All part of the plan. Get rid of the good cops, replace them with ???? or beg the federal government to create a national police force filled with the same ????, or both.

I don't blame them one bit. Why put your life and career at risk for people that don't care and that hate you in the first place. Let them rot in that cesspool of their own making.

---

That.

Any person not stratospherically rich should be trying to get out of NYC now. After DeBlasio they were due for a 180, but they didn't get that at all. Time pack up.

Adam's has been a complete disaster. You would think after DeBlasio, they would wisen up. Nope, just got stupider. Use to fly to Buffalo, Syracuse, and Utica for work. Will never step foot in that state again, while also having a deeire to go to Cooperstown.

It's a problem everywhere right now. Check out Texas DPS's numbers, this is the worst I've ever seen it.

The majority of it is reward/risk... I'm not going to be shot at, or risk being ambushed and killed, for 50k a year. You also have issues with retention.... police departments are highly political and promotion is politically driven. Combine that with the fact a lot of 25+yo recruits domt want to be treated like new boot recruits by deputy/trooper/officer fife... it's just not a primary choice for most people.

"It will take 20 years to fix this mess," said Joseph Giacalone, a John Jay College of Criminal Justice professor and a former NYPD sergeant.

"The city is bleeding blue and only the cop haters will be celebrating… There's no way to stop it. Activists, abolitionists, and their pandering politicians have done so much damage to the profession, that it will take a generation to fix, if at all."

Harris County will be next, if officers are not already leaving.

Cooperstown is worth the visit. I really do no equate the state with what NYC puts in charge from its excess influence.

Do these liberal NYC citizens give 2 ****s about the harm caused to Texans by illegals? Hell no they don't.

That is not the reason.

Fort Bend and Harris.

Both of them are losing cops and deputies in droves to Montgomery County.

Good teachers and cops are leaving/retiring early in unprecedented numbers...I am sure they are being replaced by the most upstanding and qualified individuals. The big cities are f***ed. Get out if you haven't already.

This is F16 - there are no "good" teachers. They're all lazy Marxists who couldn't do anything else.

If I was going to be a Peace Officer, I'd want to be a Game Warden.

My last post had the the wrong emoji.

NYPD officers are leaving for one reason:. "What is the point?"

They keep voting for slogans instead of solutions.

And the replacement cops who don't really give a crap will be much easier to corrupt and do the bidding of their progressive masters.

Would you say...they want to Escape From New York?


I'll see myself out now.

I "escaped" NYC, thanks to my parents, who saw the writing on the wall and this was in 1967!!!

After things like the Kim Potter case, why anyone would go into policing is beyond me.

It already has and for several years now especially since the democrats took over.

Statistically, the highest chance of getting killed!

Maybe not as true these days though...
