 NYPD brain drain: NYC detectives retiring in droves sparks fears of ‘chaotic’ crime crisis
Story by Tina Moore • 14h

The number of detectives in the NYPD has dropped below 5,000 for the first time since the pandemic – and union leaders warn that 1,600 more gumshoes could retire by the end of the year, The Post has learned.

There are 4,948 detectives in the NYPD today compared to 7,000 at the staffing peak following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Another 1,676 investigators with at least 19 years or more on the job will be eligible to retire in 2025, union officials said.

The Detectives’ Endowment Association said 359 gumshoes have already put in for retirement in the first two months of this year — compared to 453 in all of 2024.

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

Will NYPD hire, as some have suggested, illegal aliens to make up for all the people leaving and a shortage of people willing to work in that third world city? :pondering:
