This decision comes at a time when record numbers of officers are being driven out by the Defund the Police movement.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After too many failed tests, the NYPD has removed the 1.5-mile timed run requirement. The decision was approved by Mayor Eric Adams (D.), despite internal disagreements. <em>New York Post<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This decision to lower standards comes at a time when the NYPD is facing a significant reduction of its police force. In 2022, 3,701 officers will retire or quit. This is the largest number since 2002 following the September 11 terrorist attacks. Eugene O&#8217;Donnell, a former NYPD officer, attributed the shortage of qualified applicants to the Defund the Police movement.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;They&#8217;re the ones that did this, and they&#8217;re the ones who are going to have to live with the consequences of a department where the utterly unfit are all that&#8217;s left in the pool,&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell spoke to the <em>Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Adams resolved the dispute between Keechant and Juanita Sewell, NYPD training chiefs. This resulted in a change to the recruitment process. The Job Standard Test, which is a six step course that takes 4 minutes and 28 second to complete, is now the sole physical examination.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;No cop on patrol runs a mile and a half,&#8221; said Holmes. &#8220;No one&#8217;s chasing anyone a mile and a half. Not to mention every day in the gym you&#8217;re doing a mile and a half [as part of training].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jillian Snider is a former NYPD officer and professor. She disagrees and says that standards should be adapted to the job&#8217;s responsibilities, not women&#8217;s abilities.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;You should have to have the same physical requirements because you&#8217;re doing the same exact job,&#8221; Snider agreed.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While murders fell 10 percent between 2021-2022, there were increases in major crimes like robberies (26%) and larceny (36%), as well as rape (8%) during that time.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;From <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/nypd-lowers-fitness-standards-to-recruit-more-women\/\">NYPD Lowers Fitness Standards in Effort to Recruit More Females<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decision comes as officers flee the force in record numbers Police walk through Times Square in New York City \/ Getty Images The New York Police Department is lowering its recruitment standards to allow more women on the force, a decision that comes as the Defund the Police movement drives officers out of the ranks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1708,"featured_media":1899733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[11168,9849,6703,13360,14565,5605],"class_list":["post-1899732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-fitness","tag-lowers","tag-nypd","tag-recruit","tag-standards","tag-women"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1708"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1899732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899732\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1899733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1899732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1899732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1899732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
