So the plan is to equip a whopping 1/7th of officers in the next five years? I must be thinking of a different definition of "commitment" than the one the NYPD seems to use.
- wavefunction 10y agoI will say that not all of those 35,800 are patrol officers, though I share your sentiment about the NYPD's level of commitment.
- timmaah 10y agoAnd not all patrol officers are on duty at the same time. I wonder how much current equipment is checked out daily and shared?
