Statement on the Grant of a Temporary Restraining Order That Will
Require the NYPD to Provide Personnel Records to Prospective Employers
PBA president Patrick J. Lynch said: “The city can’t
hire enough police officers and can’t honestly keep the ones
they have from leaving for better opportunities, so they resort
to underhanded tactics like refusing to share personnel information.
It’s really very simple. The best people go to the highest
bidder and New York City is not competitive in police pay. Fix it,
or the NYPD will wind up with nothing but people who had no other
options than to become NYPD cops and that will not serve the city
well for the future. It is a pity that it had to take a Supreme
Court Judge’s ruling to make the NYPD do what is right.”
