Exclusive | Desperately seeking NYC cops: NYPD applicants have plummeted as force tries to hire 1,600 officers
Briefly

The biggest problem is that cops are telling their friends and family not to bother with this job, even as a stepping stone, because it's not worth it.
I tell them if you can find another agency that's willing to take you I would go,... I would run for the hills if you can.
You're not forced to work every New Year's Eve and Fourth of July,... you don't have to worry about getting stabbed, shot and then sued all the time.
Even if the city gets to 800 Academy cadets by its Jan. 29 target, the candidate pool will be shallow as it comes time to hire the second class of 800 in April.
