The members of the NYPD grew so disenchanted with their jobs in 2020 that over 5,300 uniformed officers either retired or quit, an astonishing 75% increase over the year before, amounting to 15% of the total number of officers on the force. The impetus for the officers quitting seemed to be the death of George Floyd and the unrest that followed; between May 25 and June 24, 2020, a whopping 272 officers left the force in one month.
2,600 officers quit and 2,746 filed for retirement, according to the New York Post. The 5,346 officers who left the force were nearly 2,300 more than left the force in 2019, when 1,509 officers quit and 1,544 filed for retirement.

No police officer should work in a jurisdiction where they do not have the support of those they work for. Beginning today, I will no longer recommend young people consider the NYPD as a career. https://t.co/eX85GZB9vn

From @NYCPBA President Pat Lynch: “@NYCMayor and @NYCCouncil are absolutely trying to abolish the police… they’ve taken away the tools we need to do the job we all signed up for, which is to keep our communities safe," #shameonthem https://t.co/pwadpUJ2sI

NYPD Officers Leaving In Droves
As are all NY’ers.
The devastation in the wake of the Cuomo/Deblasio disaster has left the few descent NY’ers who were left with no choice.
NY’er DO HAVE A CHOICE……. STOP voting for the Democrat Party.
Democrats are like Dogs, they are loyal to those who feed them, even though they are beaten and chained up.
NOT surprising to me one bit. THOUGH i am shocked its not HIGHER..
The fools who are victims of crime keep voting in communists and look what these voters have brought onto themselves. Crime, drugs, illegal aliens, defunding the police. The beauty of a criminal organization called the Democrat communist party.
This is an issue through all the states, the Left are throwing all these defund the police policies and the politicians don’t want to rock the boat with their minions… it’s going to be interesting when TSHTF.
THe fit, is ALREADY Hitting the shan..
We will end up like Africa. A Bunch of little Countries ,poor ,crime and no education.
I would get out of that Hell Hole too, let them defend there self, after they kill each other off go back in a few months .
IT needs to happen in EVERY LEFTIST ran city… AND NOT Just with the cops. BUT all emergency service workers!
