NYPD detectives finding more reasons to retire early — including OT opportunities

NYPD detectives finding more reasons to retire early — including OT opportunities

As the NYPD faces a mass exodus of veteran detectives, concerns are rising about the impact on ongoing cases and the ability to keep criminals off the streets. The data from the NYPD shows a significant increase in retirements, with 370 detectives retiring in 2023 and 422 so far in 2024, representing a 14% increase. The total number of detectives has decreased by 30% from around 7,000 in 2001 to 5,500 this year.

One of the reasons for this exodus is the surge in overtime pay. Many detectives are working long hours to take advantage of the extra pay, which has pushed their average salary from $115,000 to over $200,000 with overtime. However, this increase in pay is not sustainable in the long run, leading many detectives to retire earlier than planned.

Detective Kim Cenizal, who has been with the crime-scene unit for 11 years, is planning to retire in January to move south with her family. She expressed concerns about the loss of experienced investigators and the potential impact on solving cases. The solve rate for new homicides each year is just below 50%, and the decrease in experienced detectives could lead to more cases falling apart in court.

Bronx Homicide Detective Robert Klein, who has been on the job for 20 years, is also working more overtime than ever to secure his pension for his family. He highlighted the importance of his pension as an investment for his children’s future. However, the increase in workload and concerns about the future of policing under current legislation are weighing on his decision to stay in the force.

Bomb Squad Detective Kevin Canavan is worried about the future of his unit, which has 24 members with more than 20 years of experience. The Detectives Endowment Association is advocating for changes to the pay system to base detectives’ pensions on a final three-year average, rather than just the final year’s pay. This change could help retain experienced detectives and ensure the NYPD has enough manpower to handle the workload.

The exodus of experienced detectives like Ed Nusser, who investigated thousands of shootings, is leaving a gap in the force. The loss of institutional knowledge and experience could have long-term implications for the NYPD’s ability to solve cases and keep the city safe. As Mayor Adams vows to bring on more new cops to the force, the hope is that the balance between experienced detectives and new recruits will be maintained to ensure effective policing in New York City.
