New York City Police Department officers are retiring at a pace the department can’t keep up with, forcing filing limits to be implemented. The number of police officers filing retirement papers has surged in the weeks following the death of George Floyd on May 25 and has quadrupled in the past week. The surge has caused a bottleneck, prompting some to delay filing, according to the New York Post. A total of 503 officers have reportedly filed for retirement between the day Floyd died and last Friday, a 75% increase from this time last year.

The officers are subject to personal liability and possible criminal exposures for errors in judgment that have to made in split second decisions to protect themselves. There is no way any person should agree to take a job with this kind of liability exposure to their property and to their person and freedom. Mayors and Police Chiefs that order officers not to uphold the law, but to stand down, should face personal and criminal liability, and be forced to pay for damages they have allowed to occur.

It should be interesting to watch the mass education of liberals on the realities of social life without due process enforced by police and supervised by courts.

In Los Angeles, it used to be that 30 years’ service (including military service) gave a retiree full pay. Wonder if that is still the case? The husband of a friend, having joined the Marines when he was 17, was out at full pay when he was 47 and pursuing other interests.

This will further the strain on NYC and state coffers. Pension payments going out, and less money coming in to support those payments. Liberalism and socialism looks so good now, doesn't it?

They will 'retire in place', which is what we had at a large government contractor in some cases. Folks got treated badly by their boss, then reached the point that they would be retiring soon, so just stopped bothering to do much. Showed up, attended meetings, just were there, not doing much at all.
They were sending a message to their bosses.
And the police are sending a message to Mayor DeBozo and all his evil minions. You won't bother to hold them in jail, or prosecute them, so we won't bother to arrest people, or do beyond the barest minimum to get to impending retirement.

They can’t stop eligible police officers from submitting their retirement papers, but what the can do is slow down the processing of the documents. Besides police officers eligible to retire, you can bet that fully qualified younger officers are going to be looking around for police jobs in smaller cities and out of State.
