NYPD Aggressively Seeking New Police Officers…
According to a recent article published by the New York Post (click the link below for the complete story) the NYPD is desperately looking to hire new Police Officers in an effort to combat the seriously low number of viable applicants they currently having to consider for the job:
The New York Post article reported that the number of candidates taking the test to join the NYPD has plunged in the past eight years, further reporting that according to data from the Police Benevolent Association, prospective members have dropped from 18,000 in 2017 to just 8,000 in 2025 — a 55% decline.
A union spokesman reported that Mayor Adams pledged in November to bring on 1,600 new cops in 2025 — but the city has been having trouble finding viable candidates. According to the New York Post article, the general rule is 1 out of every 8 candidates pass the test and meet all the other NYPD criteria. So to fill 1,600 academy slots, a pool of almost 13,000 candidates is needed.
The article concludes with the statement that “Our city needs to balance the scales — by both reducing the burdens on cops and boosting compensation — in order to compete for the top recruits.”
If becoming an NYPD Police Officer is the career path you have always dreamed of, there is NO BETTER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW!
