5,300 NYPD officers quit their jobs or retired in 2020, based on The Daily Wire.
Based on recent reports, this surge in departures in the force is in a 75% increase compared to 2019.
Allegedly, 2,600 Police officers quit and 2,746 registered paperwork and put in for retirement.
Bernard Kerik said, “No police officer should work in a jurisdiction where they do not have the support of those they work for. Beginning today, I will no longer recommend young people consider the NYPD as a career.”

“One disgusted NYPD sergeant said detectives and deputy inspectors have told him,’I have had enough’ and’This is not the job I signed up ‘ The sergeant fumed that’elected officials are cradling those causing complete chaos on our roads and taking every step to literally handcuff our officers. ”’
“Cops are forming a conga line down at the pension section and I don’t blame them. NYPD cops are looking for better jobs with other departments or even embarking on new careers.”
