Mayor Adams restores half of next year's NYPD classes, adding 1,200 to depleted ranks
Briefly

Two of the canceled NYPD academy classes are back on, Mayor Eric Adams announced Saturday afternoon. The new rookies from the July and October classes are expected to add 1,200 to the dwindling ranks of the police department.
"Today, I am proud to announce that, thanks to our strong fiscal management that has stabilized the city budget and our fiscal outlook, we are funding two additional police classes this year in the upcoming Executive Budget."
Adams maintained Saturday that the city is on pace to bring the NYPD uniformed staffing levels up to 35,000, for the first time since the mass exodus started during COVID.
The Adams administration called off five classes to train new recruits as part of multiple rounds of budget cuts to offset the cost of the migrant crisis, which has the city on the hook for nearly $10 billion through next year.
