The disturbing trend is most pronounced in the Midwest (81%) and the Northeast (97%). The New York City Police Department alone saw 4,000 officers leave in 2022, the highest number since the September 11 attacks.
Host Jeff Pegues, speaks with Megan Stoltz, the senior program manager at the International Association of Chiefs of Police, as well as Ronal Serpas, formerly the New Orleans Police Department superintendent and former police chief of the Washington State Police, who both worked on the 2024 survey of police agencies.
