Ever-growing exodus figures show 2,465 coppers have filed to leave the department this year — 42% more than the 1,731 who exited at the same time last year, according to the latest pension fund stats obtained by The Post.
More disturbing is the fact that the number of cops hanging up their holsters early — before reaching 20 years for a full pension — has skyrocketed 71% this year from the year before (1,098 from 641).
NYPD Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch said the so-called "voluntary quits" are driving the "stampede" — and not a big academy class that graduated in 2022, as claimed last month by Chief of Department Kenneth Corey.
"We have had retirement waves caused by large academy classes before — they were nothing like this," said Lynch.
"This exodus is the result of cops in the prime of their careers deciding they have had enough. ... The NYPD should stop trying to explain this staffing crisis away. Admit there’s a problem and help us fix it," he said.

The NYC city council’s Resolution requiring NYPD be re-trained to the NEW Community Policing Mission and Governor Cuomo’s Executive Order 203 covering the LIBERAL Policing idea called "Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative Plan".
THEN ADD in a new NYPD Police Commissioner picked to check off a lot of Political Agenda & PR items; like Liberal-minded, Racial & gender issues
Trying to keep Law & Order, while following this Politically Correct agenda and the "Let them walk in signature bail" Soros DA's is bad enough.
But now toss in the mix having to deal with "Looney Tunes" empowered radical community leaders. It has made the role of a NYPD officer nearly impossible. unsafe and a joke.

One of the big attractions of a job with the city is that if you can hang in long enough, you get a nice pension. The fact that cops are bailing early is significant.
#4
Bailing before your pension activated but after your are vested in the system usually means the difference between immediate and some later deferred date. This is a HUGE decision reflecting absolute inability to do the job any longer and fears of safety or civil/criminal prosecution risk
for doing the job correctly. Those that remain will increasingly either be substandard or adopt the SFPD enforcement standard of in patrol-unit dining and report writing.
This is the death sentence for NYC economically, as businesses and industry will now see sunk cost losses as acceptable alternatives to remaining where you cannot keep a workforce on-site.
[KhaamaPress] The IS-K terrorist group grabbed credit for the deadly explosion on Saturday in Kabul’s Pol-e-Sokhta neighborhood, which reportedly killed two people and injured at least 22 others.
The Pol-e-Sokhta area of Kabul’s police district 6 was the site of the earth-shattering kaboom, which happened at 03:30 local time, on Saturday. Witnesses on the site claimed that the earth-shattering kaboom targeted the Shi’ite mourners for Muharram.
The Taliban ...Arabic for students... front man for Kabul Police Office, Khalid Zadran, stated that two people were killed and 22 others were maimed as a consequence of the blast.
Zadran revealed that kabooms had been put in a vase.
However, women are made to be loved, not understood... Mawlawi Zabihullah, the head of Kabul’s police district 6, told the local media that three non-combatants were killed and seven others were maimed in this explosion.
According to a health official from a private hospital in Kabul, who was quoted by Rooters, the earth-shattering kaboom resulted in at least eight fatalities and 22 injuries.
The IS-K was also responsible for the earth-shattering kaboom in the Sar-e-Kariz area of western Kabul, which killed eight people and injured 18.
Despite the Taliban’s claims that they have taken security precautions to safeguard the Muharram ceremony’s safety, two consecutive days have seen devastating explosions in Kabul’s west.

[KhaamaPress] Locals in Mazar-e-Sharif, in Balkh province of northern Afghanistan, say that the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... has prevented Ashura ceremony preparations at the shrine of Hazrat Ali, aka Rawza-e-Sharif, and denied permission to hold the Ashura event there for security reasons.
Officials from the Taliban in Mazar-e-Sharif have instructed those attending Ashura events to do so exclusively in mosques, citing security concerns as their justification.
Every year in Rawza-e-Sharif before the Taliban’s control, the Ashura ceremony was observed.
The Taliban have also acknowledged that they have removed the Ashura holiday from the calendar, as earlier reports in some domestic media and Iranian media contended that the Taliban removed Ashura as a national holiday.
Two explosions occurred among the mourners of this month in Kabul on the 7th and 8th days of Muharram. The number of casualties has been reported with conflicting numbers.
While witnesses to the incident and local sources claim that more than 100 people were killed and nearly 150 others were maimed in both blasts, Khalid Zadran stated that there were 8 fatalities and 20 injuries in the first explosion and 2 fatalities and 7 injuries in the second explosion.
Ashura is observed by all Moslems on the tenth day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar.
As it commemorates the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala, which took place in present-day Iraq in the seventh century and resulted in Hussein’s death, it is a time of mourning that is particularly significant for Shia Moslems.
More than 30 people fled a Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The land area formerly occupied by the state of Lebanon, before that Phoenicia... detention center at dawn on Sunday, security forces said, after sawing their way through a window, according to a judicial official.
"At dawn ... 31 detainees managed to escape" from a detention center in the Adlieh neighborhood of the capital Beirut, the Internal Security Forces said in a statement on Sunday.
"Immediate orders were given to arrest them and investigations are underway."
The detainees broke past a prison window using a saw smuggled into the facility, said a judicial official close to an investigation into the incident.
"The escapees include Lebanese, Syrians and Paleostinians, among other foreigners," he told AFP on condition of anonymity.
A security source confirmed the escape method, saying the prisoners were likely aided by someone on the outside.
On Sunday morning, an AFP correspondent saw security forces and army personnel deployed in the Beirut neighborhood housing the jail.
The Adlieh detention center was formerly controlled by Lebanon’s General Security agency but is now managed by the country’s prison authority.
It was notorious for abuses committed against detained Syrian refugees and foreign migrant domestic workers, according to rights groups, including Human Rights Watch.
The prison break came as Lebanon grapples with an unprecedented economic crisis that has seen the value of the Lebanese pound lose more than 90 percent of its value against the dollar on the black market.
Inflation has skyrocketed and public sector salaries have plummeted to record lows, forcing soldiers and other members of security forces to quit en masse to try to eke out an alternative living.
The crisis has also further degraded Lebanon’s already-dismal jails, with poor conditions and lack of medical care regularly sparking prion riots and unrest.
