Mayor Eric Adams has decided to reinstate the next two NYPD classes, bringing in 1,600 new officers by next fall, following previous cuts due to budget constraints related to the city's migrant crisis. This move aims to replenish the NYPD's depleted ranks after painful budget reductions were made to manage the overwhelming costs associated with the influx of asylum seekers into New York City, highlighting the administration's focus on public safety.
The reinstatement of these cadet classes, set for January and April 2025, comes alongside a more than $100 million restoration to the NYPD budget. This investment reflects the administration's recognition of the need for a stronger police presence in the nation's largest police force, ensuring that newly trained officers will be deployed to the streets by October 2024, addressing concerns over public safety amidst ongoing challenges.
