NYPD - Ads Will Solve The Staffing Problem

Because advertising agencies can cure all the recruitment problems of NYPD. NYPD re-ups contract with LA ad agency amid recruitment woes

All the problems. Like low pay, and insane politicians, and the "Defund" crowd, etc. will all be solved by the right advertisement. Or maybe not.

Maybe this ad agency is going have a harder time applying lipstick to that pig. (No pun intended.)

The NYPD has quietly renewed a multi-million-dollar contract with a Hollywood ad agency in an effort to attract new cops — as the department struggles to increase recruitment levels while facing a mass exodus of officers.

Yeah, that will work.

But last year, the class of new recruits joining the force was still 5% smaller than it was in 2016 — despite the department shelling out $3.7 million in advertising in 2022.

Or maybe advertising isn't the answer.
