NYPD hiring has outpaced recent attrition, but projected retirements still risk a roughly 700-officer shortfall by June without further retention or pay changes.
Data obtained by amNewYork revealed that the attrition rate of officers, either retiring or leaving the department before reaching their 20-year mark, has skyrocketed. It showed that an average of 316 rank-and-file officers left the NYPD every month of this year and that the department has lost 5,248 individuals since January 2024, while only adding 4,244 new recruits over that same period.
