Donald Trump recently claimed New York 'brought in' tens of thousands of cops for his arraignment.
In the context of the clip, in which Trump mentioned a"shut down" of New York, his claim that 38,000 NYPD officers were"brought in" may create the impression that many cops were to police the arraignment in Manhattan.
While media outlets reported that all officers received a prompt to arrive in uniform, there is no evidence that as many as Trump suggested were actively involved in monitoring the surrounding scene. Furthermore, there aren't 38,000 NYPD officers in the force. Recent data available from the force suggest the number is less than 34,000.False: The claim is demonstrably false. Primary source evidence proves the claim to be false.
