NYPD suffering from exodus of officers, creating safety and security concerns

CBS New York's Jennifer Bisram takes a deep dive into why cops are walking out the door and what's being done to keep them and recruit more.

[@DuttyGyal718]

Because NYC let the criminal right back out?

[@slapshot68]

I said the exact same thing n they deleted my comments!😡😡😡

[@mghegotagun]

Well considering the most recent guy who shoved a woman in front of a train that severed her feet was let out on parole after 6 year for stabbing his gf, and throwing a baby out a window... yes.

[@mafarnsims]

You guys need to know how the system works. The NY council members makes the laws and the NYPD enforces them. The council changed bail reform laws so no one is retained in jail while waiting for trial as they want to reduce the jail population and introduced the alternative-to-incarceration laws where a person who's found guilty can choose to go to jail or just report on a periodic basis to a monitor. Police, prosecutors, judges all need to follow these laws. Crime has gone up because the same criminals are commiting them over and over again. Change the council members by voting them out perhaps then you'll see some improvement

[@ufo_vid9694]

Democrats need those voters out.

[@SegoJordania]

They are leaving because of catch and release, that is why they retire...

[@aronsonj1]

Thank you fake news is added again

[@motivatorlife247]

theres other factors - they are used and abused - people have no respect - micromanagement - lowest paid in the newyork city area out of other agencies and busiest so makes no sense - dangerous - alot of nepotism its who u know and phonecalls to go to any unit and move on with your career

[@georgevarughese4886]

Yes sir 👏 🙌. They get there pension taken if someone sues them!

[@beng4647]

I think its more pointless.

[@GeeBee212]

Let's be honest, the rush to retirement is because there were more officers hired after 9/11 (2002-2005) than any other time in the Department's history, so of course there is an exodus as those officers reach retirement eligibility. There are leaving at the rate that officers always leave which is after 20-25 years. That said, the job is thankless. Although they are not getting as many applicants for the job as previously, they are still managing to meet their target. What this means is that they have less of a pool to draw from.

[@GeeBee212]

@georgevarughese4886 Not true. When a MOS is sued, the plaintiff ALWAYS seeks indemnification from the city otherwise they couldn't get multi million dollar payouts. Certain personal assets are protected and individuals don't have deep pockets. Your pension is yours and maybe your ex wife's.

[@lancecahill5486]

When the DA refuses to prosecute criminals, what’s the point of having a police force?

[@ExploringTheTube-fd1oo]

IDK about other cops, but my brother recently quit because he couldn't handle the overtime. Now he has a nice office job doing IT, while finishing his studies. Basically, he said it was impossible to be a cop and have a life. Forcing overtime on these people is going to cause more people to leave. You need a life outside of work.

[@herrwarmduscher5204]

What type of IT? I hate my job too :-)

[@Nick0wnsz]

A lot of cops like the OT

[@leonweskeradac8239]

So basically this is good for single men and women. Less for people with families like a wife or kids. Plus, they’re already paid so high so overtime pay would be good

[@ExploringTheTube-fd1oo]

Yeah, I didn't think about that privilege. My brother has no kids and we live together by ourselves. Feel really bad for parent cops now who want to leave. @@leonweskeradac8239

I know one reason they are leaving "Hey Sarge, I worked every holiday in the year, but do you think I could get my kid's birthday off?" - NYPD officer "No, and you know what, we need you to work a 16 hour shift that day" -Sergeant

[@smithjohnson87]

That's what happened to my boy he had to sleep at the precinct because by the time he drove home he would only be able to take a 3 hr nap before driving back out again to go to work.

[@Waltaere]

It’s probably because neighboring depts pay more while their jusridictions are not subject to NYC income tax

Thats the last reason. Probably the first is a terrible DA that reverses their arrests of criminals. It makes their job redundant.

"The exodus will only get worse because the city plans to cancel the next five Police Academy classes." Seems as if the City isn't willing to fork out the money to retain or hire new cops. The added workload could be what's driving them away. That and 🕳

[@LeeeroyJenkins]

Oh they give money for retention. But at what price is dying early due to stress, and never seeing your family due to mandatory overtime worth?

[@joeyork9891]

No. Taxpayers don't wanna pay cops a pension after only 20 years. Majority of newyorkers don't even have any pensions

Increasing responsibilities, civil and criminal liability and extended work hours/days. Do more with less they say.
