Legions of NYPD officers are getting ready to retire — prompted by long and grueling overtime hours in what the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) describes as “forced” and “inhumane.”
According to the police union representing tens of thousands of active and retired officers, several retirement seminars held in Queens over the past few weeks — the most recent of which took place on Nov. 8 – saw more than 800 cops line the streets at each event, looking for information on their prospective retirement packages. This comes after 3,791 officers quit in 2022, a record-breaking number the PBA charged.
