NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- The recent surge in resignations and retirements from the police department highlights the fact that police officers and other uniformed city employees can collect their pensions for many more years than other city workers, said an official report issued this week.
"More than 2,400 through the first week of October this year compared with an average of 1,800 annually over the past decade or about 2,000 in all of 2019" of the police force did so, announced New York City Independent Budget Office (IBO) on the page of "New York City by the Numbers" of its website.
