The PBA president is quoted in the NY Post: “It is shameful that they are forced to deliver their victim impact statement to a random parole board member who may not be on the panel deciding the case. Every parole board member who sits on the panel should be required to look these grieving families in the eye and hear their story before they vote to put another ruthless cop-killer back on the streets.”
PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the New York Times, NY Post, and Newsday: “Tweaking the hiring standards alone won’t solve the NYPD’s staffing crisis. New York City is competing with other departments that not only have lower education requirements but also offer other benefits and better quality of life. Even those who do choose the NYPD will continue to view it as a stepping stone to a better policing job. Instead of another Band-Aid, New York City needs to look at long-term solutions and incentives that will help us recruit and retain the finest.”
