Yeah.

I mean, I have a lot of friends that are police officers and, you know, many of them would say I think that there are a lot of variables that contribute, not just, you know, coming up on their retirement year.

Have we changed that cycle so that we're not having all of the classes on the same year so that we're not running into the same pattern in another ten, fifteen years?
Jessica Tisch

Well, we're hopefully going to hire several thousand officers this year.

So hiring at the NYPD has historically been lumpy.

And this year it will continue to be lumpy.

But I agree with you that the goal ultimately is to even out year to year the number of the departments hiring.
