Reply to comment by FrankFriendo in NYC’s new subway crime crackdown is underway but NYers are not convinced it will work by PichuLovy

It might surprise you, but people aren’t exactly lining up to be a cop these days.

36K people isn't a lot of people to you?

Do you know what the normal amount of quits and retirements in a year is? This chart only has "quits", which makes it seem much larger.

It's 2000 total usually. So this year is looking like it'll be 3000-4000 with the extra quits. 11% turnover instead of 6%. That's nothing.

Anyone who thinks these are the "best and brightest" leaving is stupid. Anyone who leaves before their pension without a good reason is also stupid. Good riddance to the bottom 11%.

Also, the people that are joining are largely PoC, no one talks about how we have probably the most diverse police dept on the country. Gotta love white elitist that scream that PoC police officers are somehow “racist”.

You said

Now they are, and they're diverse? Make up your mind man.

Of the people that are applying *. Obviously there aren’t 0 people applying to be police officers.
