NYC detectives struggle to keep the peace amid low staffing, lack of support
Fox News
The head of a New York union for police detectives said low morale, low staffing and a lack of support from leadership has crushed law enforcement.
In July 2020, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City council voted to cut the city’s police department’s budget by roughly $1 billion amid intense public pressure to defund the police.
The budget cuts resulted in the 600-officer, plainclothes anti-crime unit being disbanded, the delay of a cadet class of roughly 900 officers and decreased overtime.
