Thousands of New York City police officers have ditched the country's biggest police force and fled to other states for higher salaries.
Police department recruiters from other states, including Florida and Colorado have rushed to the Big Apple to persuade some of the city's 34,000 officers into relocating in exchange for higher pay and better work environments.
The retention rate among NYPD officers is rocky, especially since 1,225 officers have resigned through November before reaching five years at the police force, according to the New York Times. About 3,200 total have left this year, including retirees.
NYPD is experiencing its largest exodus since 2002 as salaries and increased hours appear not to be enough.

Some officers have flocked to the sunny state of Florida to receive a guaranteed sign-on bonus of $5,000 and funds to further their education at a state police academy.
Spero Georgedakis, a former Miami officer who now works to assist in cop relocation, recently posted a television ad for $20,000 per month to persuade NYPD cops to relocate to Florida, according to the news outlet.
The number of states advertising to New York officers is unclear, but generally, recruiters lead with higher pay and more benefits.
'We don't want to deplete New York City of their officers,' Georgedakis told the news outlet. 'But police are needed everywhere, and we want them to choose Florida.'
Amid the 'defund the police' and George Floyd protests, about 9,400 have left the NYPD since 2020, according to the news outlet.
Full-year statistics released to DailyMail.com in June showed that 3,152 officers left the force in 2020, meaning that the pace of retirements this year is only slightly higher. There were far fewer departures in 2021, with 2,689 officers exiting.
Despite nearly 6,900 joining since 2020, it hasn't been enough.

They also went to Connecticut as well. Why would they want to stay in nyc when it is garbage and they get treated like garbage? Let those who communities suffer. They wanted to defund the police to begin with and wanted no change in the government or the bail laws. So let them reap what they sow now.
Yep, #2 Wookie elected as governor, no chance of stop and frisk & qualified immunity being re-instated so cops are jumping ship like they said they would.
Qualified immunity was a legal doctrine that kept police officers safe from civil lawsuits.
Without protection from frivolous lawsuits it is near impossible for police to enforce the law without the fear of being sued and having to foot the lawyers bills on their own, possible loose their homes and pensions.
I posted this here on QC a couple month back after talking with a couple police who live on City Island (they all gave notice last week)
These guys also now claim the mayor wants to make convicts cops. No test or skills needed, All one needs is proof a one ancestor was a slave in this country.
2- Creating some program to make inner city youthful offenders in certain zip codes for cops.
(In other words like the marijuana dispensary program whites and non convicts are locked out, not need apply) The democrats believe only people who been through the system and done time in prison have the most priority to make the best cops)
My guess is this is likely going to be sold as reparations for poverty and slavery that's been cooking behind closed doors.
Lets see how many say "naa that's not gonna happen" call me crazy 6 months from now when it happens. Its not my words, this came from high ranking hearing able cops who are around, do armed security detail for these shit democrat progressive politicians.
The Democrats don't want law enforcement, cops or people in jails, they wants summons issuers, social workers, shrinks and baby sitters !!!

The Great Free States of Florida and Texas welcome the NYPD members !
Thanks to the current administration and the "robust NYC economy."
They’ll be in for a shock when other police departments don’t take too kindly to paying them for staring at their phones.
Sad…
Imagine the surprise. Double Standards and Shenanigans are pushing them and many other New Yorkers to better places to live and raise their families.

Listen to me said...
Sheeple get out of these cities run by demons that let violent liberal lunatics run wild and free.
Would like to know how many of them actually lived in the five boroughs of New York City.
What the fuck did you NYC Weirdo's expect was going to happen? With your "Defund the police" policies, your cop hating mentalities. Add to that a buncha D.A.'s that believe in coddling criminals, and you got the recipe for the murder of NYC...
TWITS!
That’ll save the city lots, and make zero difference on crime.
Many liberal voters don’t support the new DAs who won’t uphold the law or the new bail laws (including the NYC mayor). The democrats in Albany refuse to admit that their bail reform is a complete failure. Many liberals would have elected a republican governor if it meant tougher crime laws, but they couldn’t get behind a republican who seems too far right.
"they couldn’t get behind a republican who seems too far right"
Zeldin committed suicide when he opened his mouth on abortion.
In doing so Zeldin handed every young female and most college kids vote to Hochul.
The government has no business inside a woman's private reproductive parts.
I figured a Jew would be immune to the demands of the Pope and Catholic church but nope, same shit as the rest of them.
Supreme court should have never opened that can of worms until after the election,
A:they are stupid and packed with religious fanatics.
B: it was a setup to make Republicans open their mouths and lose.
I'm going with A:
Crime in NYC is about to take off like one of Elon Musk's SpaceX rockets.
Cities have descended into woke crime incubators.
ME watching crap unfold after everyone launched into plebeian mob rule, and lampooned me for telling the truth, followed by bandwagon aggression and banishment:
