Desperately seeking NYC cops: NYPD applicants have plummeted as force tries to hire 1,600 officers

The number of candidates taking the test to join the NYPD has plunged by more than half in the past eight years, The Post has learned.

Prospective members of New York’s Finest went from 18,000 in 2017 to just 8,000 this year — a 55% decline, according to data from the Police Benevolent Association, the city’s largest police union.

“The biggest problem is that cops are telling their friends and family not to bother with this job, even as a stepping stone, because it’s not worth it,” a Brooklyn cop with more than a dozen years on the job told The Post.
 
“You’ll be worked to the bone, attacked by perps and politicians and hammered with nonsense complaints and ticky-tack discipline.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

You have to be a fool, an idiot, or desperate for work to be a cop in a democrat run city, none of which is ideal for a cop. **nononono*
