Recent weeks have seen alarming incidents, such as people being set on fire in subway cars and pushed onto tracks, while prosecutors funded by Soros target those who defend their communities. It&#8217;s no surprise that fewer individuals are interested in becoming police officers amid such chaos.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, there are only 8,000 potential recruits for the NYPD\u2014less than half of the 18,000 who sought to join back in 2017. Current officers express concerns about the job&#8217;s difficulties; one Brooklyn officer noted that many discourage friends and family from pursuing a career in policing due to its challenges. Another officer mentioned his son opting for a different department with lower pay to avoid the risks associated with NYPD work.<\/p>\n<p>A recently retired officer advised young people against joining NYPD: &#8220;If you can find another agency willing to take you, I would go.&#8221; These sentiments should alarm every American.<\/p>\n<p>Many police officers wish to serve their communities by enforcing laws and come from families with long-standing traditions of service. However, movements like Black Lives Matter have pressured leaders and institutions to turn away from law enforcement entirely.
