The dirty 31? Judge halts NYPD officer firing plan for now despite department citing drug, prostitution offenses in seeking terminations | amNewYork
Briefly

A Manhattan judge ruled that 31 NYPD officers slated for termination will retain their positions for 60 days pending further review. The NYPD alleges these rookie officers are involved in serious misconduct, including drug abuse and soliciting prostitutes. One officer reportedly caused multiple vehicle collisions while using his detective father’s status to avoid consequences. Another officer has a documented history of paying for sex, raising concerns about future behavior. The officers were given a short notice to resign or face termination, prompting an injunction from the Police Benevolent Association.
The NYPD accused rookie cops marked for termination of being drug abusers and perverts, stating they should have never worn the uniform at all.
One cop caused eight vehicle collisions and used his detective father to evade accountability, raising questions about his fitness for duty.
Another officer had a disturbing history of paying for sex, which the evaluator believed indicated a potential for future inappropriate behavior.
The NYPD sought immediate removal of these officers, citing their risk to public safety, leading to an injunction filed by the Police Benevolent Association.
