“The city is bleeding blue and I think the blue line will get thinner,” said Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

The NYPD saw 3,701 cops retire or resign in 2022, the most since the post-9/11 exodus in 2002, when 3,846 cops said goodbye to the job, according to data obtained by The Post. The mass migration took place as the NYPD hired 1,982 officers in 2022, leaving the department down some 1,700 cops, the data suggests., the defund-the-police movement, cops feeling disrespected, and the lure of higher pay and lower stress proved to be the final push out the door for many cops.

“Since I’ve been here there’s been more respect,” said Tilan, now a member of the Suncoast Police Benevolent Association. “When I come to work, people say, ‘You’re always smiling.'” Tilan, who was assigned to the 72nd Precinct in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, noted the Florida “facilities are better, the precinct is nicer, you don’t have ceiling tiles falling down on you … It feels like you are more supported and you are given the tools to succeed.”

Police involved killing? George Floyd was murdered by a cop. You people have no shame.

That’s so nice :)

NYC has a brand.

ericadamsfornyc with that patented NYC magic yet again !

The way they’re treated and the way criminals are let loose after apprehension is anyone surprised?

bad news for the proud boys. not only does this mean they won't have protection in the city but it also means their membership went down

Wow, what cowards but not a surprise since all cops are big soft lazy cry babies who don't do actual work, just sit around slinging doughnuts and clocking overtime wasting tax money

Gee I wonder why? Sky high crime under pathetic corrupt “leadership”.

Good! They should've all left in 2020 during the riots.

That's great news
