The NYPD needs more cops after years of officers exiting: Mayor Adams
NY Post ^ | 10/16/2023 | Craig McCarthy and Carl Campanile

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.

To work as a NY Cop and face NY prices, taxes, fentanyl, BLM and @$$hole woke politicians, judges and citizens?

My minimum would be $500K per year.

This is the same Eric Adams who declared the law has no meaning when he stated New York City is a "sanctuary city".

Let Mayor Adams, a former police officer himself, go back on the job. He helped make the mess, let him solve it.

Let Mayor Adams see reach out to his predecessor Kaiser Wilhelm Deblasio who fired Officer Panteleo despite two juries finding no cause to charge him.

Mayor, look up “self inflicted wound” to describe your current staffing issues.

Funny how he doesn't even mention this as a gross and foolish mistake. Odd that, huh? He's trying to thread the needle.

NYC cuts $1B from police budget amid calls for reform

ABC News
By ByIvan Pereira
July 1, 2020

New York Police Department budget slashed $1 billion

Taking effect in the 2021 fiscal year, the $1 billion in NYPD cuts will come from a combination of sources. New York City reduced a billion dollars from the NYPD in its city budget for the next year.

Police reform advocates, cop supporters and President Trump expressed their discontent with slashing the NYPD's budget.

For the 2021 fiscal year, the $1 billion reduction in the NYPD's operating budget includes $484 million in cuts to the department; shifting the command of school officers to the Department of Education; eliminating two of the four NYPD training classes this year, which reduced headcount by 1,163 uniform officers; and reducing overtime spending by $352 million, according to the city council.

The pay must be really, really good to convince someone to walk around with a target on their back front.

“… no one does it better than the New York Police Department.”

Really, Eric?

Typical NYC arrogance and parochialism. And delusion, of course.
