Low Morale

The NY Post reports an NYPD study that says: “More than half of city cops have bad feelings about being a police officer because of their bosses.” It goes on:

The findings also revealed 85 percent of cops feared being proactive on the street because they are wary of civilian complaints.

More than two-thirds say they have not taken lawful activity against criminals because they feared being sued.

…

Only 15 percent of cops thought they were trained well in crisis intervention and 18 percent in management.

The highest training rating was given to firearm training — and even that was at only 50 percent. Only a third of cops thought they were trained well in officer safety.

And training in both investigations and domestic violence was also rated badly, at a pitiful 26 percent.
