PBA President reacts to cancellation of class of 540 Officers

PBA president Patrick J. Lynch said:

“The NYPD is already at dangerously low staffing levels with 6,000 fewer police officers on our streets than in 2001.  Canceling the April class of 540 police officers is a bad decision that will compound the existing staffing problem, compromise public safety and put our police officers at greater risk.”
