New York Post<\/a>, \u201ca total of 2,516 NYPD cops have left so far this year, the fourth highest number in the past decade and 43% more than the 1,750 who hightailed it in 2018, before the pandemic and crime spikes hit the city.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThe number of cops quitting before they reach the 20 years required to receive their full pensions also skyrocketed from 509 in 2020 to 1,040 so far this year \u2014 an alarming 104% increase, the data show,\u201d the report continues.<\/p>\n
Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry told the Post that officers leaving and a lack of new hires are causing those who remain on the force to be subjected to \u201cinhumane amounts of forced overtime.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe workload is a leading factor driving people away from the job,\u201d Hendry said. \u201cIf the NYPD is going to survive these staffing reductions, it cannot just keep squeezing cops for more hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Post reports that \u201cdrastic cuts will reduce the department to just 29,000 cops by the end of fiscal year 2025 \u2014 the lowest level since the mid-90s \u2014 and come amid a slew of city-wide belt tightening. The mayor has blamed the the city\u2019s multi-billion-dollar migrant crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
The report adds:<\/p>\n
The exodus began after Minnesota cop Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd on May 25, 2020, triggering nationwide protests and calls to defund the police. Anti-cop hostility, bail reform, and rising crime have fed into frustration among the NYPD rank and file.<\/p>\n
Assaults against NYPD cops have skyrocketed by more than 25% this year, police data obtained by The Post last month revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you look at the number of resignations, you need to ask yourself why would the mayor even consider making cuts to hiring in the NYPD?\u201d Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, told the newspaper. \u201cAs the numbers continue to dwindle, things will take a dramatic turn for the worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
