‘Bleeding blue’: Cops flee NYPD in biggest exodus since 9/11
NY Post ^ | January 7, 2023 | By Dean Balsamini

Posted on 01/07/2023 11:59:43 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The NYPD saw 3,701 cops retire or resign in 2022, the most since the post-9/11 exodus in 2002, when 3,846 cops said goodbye to the job, according to data obtained by The Post.

Pension fund numbers reveal the 2022 exits are 32% more than the 2,811 who left in 2021.

The mass migration took place as the NYPD hired 1,982 officers in 2022, leaving the department down some 1,700 cops, the data suggests.

Bail reform, resentment for the city’s vaccination mandate, the defund-the-police movement, cops feeling disrespected, and the lure of higher pay and lower stress proved to be the final push out the door for many cops.

Alexandre Tilan, 29, had six years on the job with the NYPD when he left the force in April, despite not being anywhere near the 22-year threshold for a half-pay retirement pension. He joined the St. Petersburg Police Department in Florida a month later.

“Since I’ve been here there’s been more respect,” said Tilan, now a member of the Suncoast Police Benevolent Association. “When I come to work, people say, ‘You’re always smiling.'”

“I was at top pay with the NYPD, which I think sits around $89,000. Right now … in Florida, I’m making $72,000,” said Tilan. “However, the weekly [take home is] higher because of the lack of state and city tax. When I reach top pay here it will be over $100,000.”

No worries, New York. These guys will be more than happy to help out.
Heck, they’ve already got the correct patrol car color scheme in place.

Well, defunding cannot get done without ‘de-staffing’ or ‘de-manning’, so, democrats are well on the way to accomplishing their goals. Criminals everywhere appreciate the democrats’ efforts to support them.

They can't say out loud the police are being targeted by racists like BLM for having the nerve to treat perps equally regardless of color. They are supposed to let the persons of color go and only arrest the others. Or get suspended or taken to court.

The city of Boston is begging officers from the surrounding
suburbs to transfer to Boston.

Inner city police forces hardly even have a purpose anymore. If crimes aren’t even going to be prosecuted anyway, just give badges to everyone working in the prosecutor’s office and let them enforce the law as they see fit.

Bringing misfits into the ranks will chase out more cops than the Leftists in city hall already have.

One of the most telling bits of information about the George Floyd incident was that one of the cops involved was a 36 year-old ROOKIE.

He wasn’t a female or minority “diversity hire,” either … just a plain white guy.

You know an urban sh!t-hole police department is desperate for bodies when they are hiring someone like that.

Never fear NY. The colleges are pumping out psychology majors to replace them.

Early law and order and naked city reruns are enough for me.

"Tiers" are used to describe terms of your union's contract with NYC. I'm Tier 2. I am able to, for instance, take loans against my pension and retire after 20 years. After I got on the job, the city renegotiated with the unions and made a Tier 3 for anyone who was hired after a certain date. Those cops were unable to take pension loans, and I believe they have to work 22 years before they can retire.

There are other differences between tier 2 and tier 3, but those are some larger ones.
