Frustrated NYC detectives leaving ‘insane’ NYPD, have ‘had enough’

More than 100 NYPD detectives have retired in June — and another 75 plan to put their papers in next month — as many become frustrated by revolving-door justice and rules that hamstring them in the Big Apple, officials and detectives told The Post.

“That’s going to have a major impact on investigating crimes,” Detectives Endowment Association president Paul DiGiacomo said. “The detective squads are down now as we speak and are investigating more cases. It’s going to have an impact on public safety.”

So far this year, 250 detectives have retired, leaving the total number at about 5,600, which is nearly 2,000 less than two decades ago.

There were 794 detective retirements during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 — and that number dropped down to 395 in 2021. Sources said 100 retirements in just one month is a large number for the NYPD.

The Post also reported earlier this month that cops in general were leaving the force in record numbers.

Looks like a reaction to new Mayor Adams being talk rather than walk.

What does it matter how many detectives you have to investigate crimes if if liberal DA's and judges just put the criminals back on the street? I wonder how many of the 'retirees' are moving to states where there is more actual law and order as well as safer environments for their families?

Many of them will be moving out to towns and villages on Long Island, where the pay and benefits will be significantly better than what they get with the NYPD.
