PBA President Patrick Hendry is featured on News12 Brooklyn: “No one is becoming an NYPD police officer right now for the long term,” he tells the news channel. “They’re taking it for a stepping stone to get something better — something with better salary, pensions, quality of life. We need to keep our highly skilled, highly trained police officers right here in New York City.”
PBA President Patrick Hendry and overworked police officers sit down with CBS 2 News’ Jennifer Bisram to discuss the NYPD staffing crisis and the PBA-backed pension equity proposals in Albany to help #KeepOurCops.
The PBA president is quoted in on New York 1, ABC 7 News and 1010 WINS Radio: "The NYPD is understaffed by thousands, and hundreds more cops are leaving each month. We need long-term solutions to keep our most talented, experienced police officers on patrol, both underground and on the streets."
