PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the NY Post: “Right now, potential recruits know that a career in the NYPD means enduring more work, more risk, more pressure and more scrutiny, in exchange for fewer benefits and lower pay than almost any other policing job. 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.”
PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the NY Post: “Far too many routine calls are turning into all-out brawls, and the reason is obvious: our justice system keeps releasing the same violent, repeat offenders, and they keep attacking cops when we try to lock them up again.”
The PBA president is quoted in the NY Post: “We have a police staffing crisis, a violent recidivism crisis and dozens of other pressing public safety problems. But instead of fixing those issues, this bill tries to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.”
