The NYPD has decided to crack down on its already-thinning, overworked ranks by rooting out cops who grow their beards too long, drink coffee on the job and don’t empty their garbage cans quickly enough, The Post has learned.
In addition to making sure cops don’t grow their beards past the departmental limit of one-quarter of an inch, the section is tasked with investigating improprieties such as officers who keep inaccurate memo books, tint their windows too dark on their personal cars or fail to comb their hair properly
And that’s been happening at precinct roll calls throughout the city — though the NYPD declined to say how many command disciplines it had issued so far.“Everybody should look professional,” Maloney told The Post.Cops said the new initiative, which was made official on Jan. 17, has left them stuck somewhere between an eye roll and an outright rebellion.
The brass’s decision to drop the hammer on the rank-and-file comes at a particularly fraught time – the NYPDas cops continue to turn in their badges at an alarming rate. But the numbers track with last year’s mass exodus: New York’s finest lost 3,701 cops to retirement or resignation in 2022, the most since 3,846 left the year after 9/11.. One source previously told The Post that cops are being forced to work an “inhumane amount of overtime,” which includes sacrificing their days off.The new unit will make sure officers show up to their posts on time and don’t leave early, the NYPD said.
