New York City Police Department officers are retiring at a pace the department can’t keep up with, forcing filing limits to be implemented.
The number of police officers filing retirement papers has surged in the weeks following the death of George Floyd on May 25 and has quadrupled in the past week. The surge has caused a bottleneck, prompting some to delay filing, according to the New York Post.
A total of 503 officers have reportedly filed for retirement between the day Floyd died and last Friday, a 75% increase from this time last year. The amount of filings in the last week represents a 411% increase from last year, which has forced the department to limit filings.
A line of officers was spotted outside the office where police officers file for retirement, according to the New York Post. One officer said, “Apparently, the pension section is only taking a certain amount of people per day, and I think they are backed up till late July, early August.”
