The number of NYPD resignations has surged Thousands of officers on duty have yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19

According to the "New York Daily News" reported on the 1st, a few days before New York City stipulated that public officials were vaccinated against the new crown, the number of local police officers who resigned surged. Thousands of others on duty have not yet been vaccinated against COVID-19, waiting to see if they will be exempted for some reason.

On November 1, local time, the U.S. New York Police Chief Dermot Shay announced that 34 police officers and 40 civilian personnel were placed on unpaid leave for refusing to receive the new crown vaccine, and Shay said at the press conference that 34 of the 35,000 police officers currently refuse to be vaccinated against the new crown vaccine, but this number is extremely unstable, and over time, it may rise. Shay noted that as of the morning of Nov. 1, 85 percent of NYPD officers had been vaccinated, "the remaining 15 percent is very important and they are currently refusing to vaccinate for religious or medical reasons." ”

Sources said 58 police officers with less than 20 years of service (more than 5 years) resigned in October 2021 after transferring their pensions, compared with 11 in October 2020. Another 105 police officers resigned in October without transferring their pensions, compared to 33 in October 2020. (Overseas Network/Li Fang, Internship Editor/Hao Zicen)
