PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the NY Post: “Tweaking the hiring standards alone won’t solve the NYPD’s staffing crisis. New York City is competing with other departments that not only have lower education requirements but also offer other benefits and better quality of life. Even those who do choose the NYPD will continue to view it as a stepping stone to a better policing job. Instead of another Band-Aid, New York City needs to look at long-term solutions and incentives that will help us recruit and retain the Finest.”
