Report: Over Half of NYPD Officers Wish They’d Never Joined Force
AWR Hawkins 21 Nov 2021
An internal NYPD survey found 56 percent of current officers wish they had never joined the force, it was revealed Sunday.
According to a New York Post report the survey sought the views of “6,000 uniformed officers.”
The Post notes the survey provides a “sobering snapshot of how the Finest feel in an era of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter riots, the Defund the Police movement, bail-reform laws that keep violent offenders out of jail, and legislative measures that put the burden of liability on officers while emboldening criminals.”
A 20-year-veteran commented on the survey, saying things at the NYPD are at “rock bottom.” He noted he has advised his son not to join the department and noted, “The city is absolutely not safe at all. Bail reform. Criminals being released. Everyone knows what’s going on.”
The veteran officer added, “My retirement date is next month, I can’t wait to run out of here.”
The internal survey found 46 percent of NYPD officers say the public disrespects them and 44 percent say the public distrusts them.
