12 former NYPD officers have started careers with the Lakeland, Florida police
Officer Hector Lopez is one of 12 former New York Police Department officers who recently left the liberal state to start their careers in Lakeland, Florida. The growing anti-police sentiment in New York has driven away thousands of officers in recent years.
Lopez grew up in the Bronx and worked as an NYPD officer for six years. He decided to move to Florida with his fiancé and children because he saw more potential for his family to grow.
In addition to Florida’s lack of a state tax, Governor Ron DeSantis said on "Sunday Morning Futures" that he plans to give $5,000 bonuses to any out-of-state law enforcement officers that relocate to Florida.
