NYPD officers are leaving the force in record numbers. Is Mayor Adams doing enough to replace them?
The Point
Police officers are leaving the NYPD in record numbers. Is Mayor Eric Adams doing enough to replace them?
Talking Points
Patrick Hendry is president of the Police Benevolent Association. In Hendry's 30 years on the job, he's seen the size of the force grow and expand, but now it's shrinking and he's worried.
Hendry said he's relieved Adams restored police academies, but it may not be enough to replace 200 officers on average leaving the department every month.
In a bonus conversation exclusively on CBS News New York, Hendry said Adams should veto the bill passed by the New York City Council that requires officers to report all stops, including low-level ones.
Point of View
When it comes to budgets, January is a busy month for the mayor.
"Gothemist" reporter Elizabeth Kim and political strategist J.C. Polanco help sort out what's behind Adams' recent reversal on some of the budget cuts he announced months ago.
