Mayor Eric Adams says New York City needs more cops after years of officers leaving the department.
“We can use more,” Adams said on the “Morning Joe” program on MSNBC Monday. “I’m very clear on that.”
“The numbers are down, but based on the numbers, no one does it better than the New York Police Department.”
The NYPD has lost more than 2,000 uniformed officers over the last few years as the pandemic and anti-cop sentiment during the Black Lives Matter protests caused many to reconsider the job and resign or retire.
Prior to the pandemic, the city had about 36,000 uniformed officers, but that figure has dropped to 33,582, according to NYPD data.

Not the destination I would seek if I wanted to be a LEO.
The last job in NYC that I’d want is being a Target with a Badge.
Just now figuring this out, NYC?

You mean a target with a badge, that Adams will be happy to put in jail for life at the first mistake you made - i.e. arresting a minority.
They didn’t ‘exit’. You guys drove them out, by exiting good sense yourselves.
What does the left expect when their whole focus has been to defund the police.
People know when they are not wanted.
About 25% of Blue Bloods are “officer was shot at and killed the teen but no gun was found” “detective is being brought up on felony charges after shooting suspect’s arrest” “perp was not mirandized properly” “officer is accused of intimidating the suspect into the confession.”
WHY would someone stay in any police force with all the insults, suspensions, lawsuits and slander?
Key: The American people are not worth defending. (We are the tiny minority of exceptions here.) They allowed BLM and the Dem Party to go unpunished.
I’ve seen a few recent videos on YouTube involving the NYPD.
Oh. My. Goodness. Most of the younger cops looked lost and clueless. Not really unprofessional, but clueless. It was as if New York just grabbed kids off the street and said, “Here, put this uniform on.”
I guess you’ve got to keep lowering standards until you get the numbers you need.
Ah yes Car 54 Where Are You?? LOL.
Even “cracker cops”?

Let’s see… be a cop on a pinko city. Have every Tom, Duck, and Harry sharpshooting your every move. Arrest the bad guys and probably get assaulted yourself along the way, to include bodily fluids and needles. Have a pinko DA and entire legal system let the criminal right back into the streets again.
What’s not to love?
Same direction the military is going.
BTW- my dad was NYPD for 23 years.
I presently have two nephews who are NYPD and both are on their way out in less than five years. Each is on the wait list for different PD’s and one with DHS
He should hire the guy that subdued the crazy nut on the subway.
Can I work in an English speaking White neighborhood?
Hire migrants, they will do an outstanding job, after all south American and Mexican cops are know for honesty and virtue.
I’d never sign up to be street muscle for a Marxist regime.
