NYPD welcomes nearly 1,100 new recruits. “Will they stick around?” asks Patrick Hendry

The PBA president is quoted in the NY Post: “These new recruits are a welcome relief for our overworked and burned-out members on the streets. But the real question is: Will they stick around? Every New York City police officer knows they can find a less punishing workload, a better quality of life, and competitive compensation in virtually any other police department in our area. The NYPD staffing crisis won’t end unless the city does more to keep the talented cops it already has.”
