PBA REACTS TO POLICE COMMISSIONER KELLY'S
CITY COUNCIL TESTIMONY
PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said: “Police Commissioner
Kelly is absolutely correct about the dismal failure of pattern
bargaining and the severe consequences on police operations. As
Commissioner Kelly concluded, our most critical operations, including
Operation Impact, which were band aids for already acute staffing
shortages caused by low pay, are jeopardized. Pattern Bargaining
is undermining the NYPD’s ability to keep the streets of
New York City safe. It is time to do ‘more with more,’ as
Councilman Monserrate concluded, and pay NYC police officers a
competitive market rate of pay.”
