Fox News: Blue city police sergeants say they're paid less than subordinates as billions go to migrants
The NYPD is experiencing a significant loss of sergeants due to a pay structure that allows patrol officers to earn more than newly promoted supervisors. Currently, sergeants earn between $98,000 and $118,000, while many patrol officers can reach a top pay of $115,000, leading to discontent among sergeants.
As a result, over 70 sergeants left the department in January 2025, with many more eligible for retirement. This staffing crisis is compounded by increased responsibilities for remaining sergeants, who are also juggling second jobs to make ends meet. Negotiations for a new contract have stalled, raising concerns about recruitment and retention within the NYPD.
