US EditionNY Judge Blocks NYPD From Firing 30+ New Cops for 'Offenses'
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 10 – Thirty-one officers hired despite failing mental health and background checks are being disqualified as part of a broader probe into faulty hiring and promotional practices.
- On July 11, a judge issued a temporary restraining order barring the NYPD from dismissing 31 officers in New York City while legal proceedings continue.
- The officers face termination because they were improperly hired despite final disqualification notices during background checks in 2023–2024.
- The Police Benevolent Association has sought a restraining order, contending that the officers were unfairly denied an opportunity to appeal and should not be held responsible for issues stemming from the department’s hiring process.
- PBA President Patrick Hendry said, "These police officers did nothing wrong" and called the pause in firings "only the first step" toward justice.
- The case will proceed at a court hearing scheduled for July 15, with the NYPD due to respond by Monday amid ongoing internal investigations and staffing concerns.
