They Threatened 10,000 NYPD Officers Quitting the Force… So far, 34

“After threats that 10,000 NYPD officers could quit the force over the NYC vaccine mandate, the actual number going on unpaid leave today (Nov. 1, 2021) was 34.” Perspective:  those 34 non-compliant officers account for fewer than 0.15 percent of NYPD employees.

From the Washington Post:

The heads of the five major unions representing members of the New York City Police Department warned that 10,000 unvaccinated police officers were “set to be pulled from [the] streets” as a Nov. 1 vaccine mandate deadline for New York City employees passed.

So far, the number is 34.

Fewer than three dozen uniformed officers out of about 35,000 were placed on unpaid leave on Monday when the deadline expired, in addition to 40 civilian NYPD staff out of roughly 17,000, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said in a news conference.

There were no major disruptions to city services as a result of the vaccine mandate coming into force, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) said during the same news conference.
