Today, the NYPD made history once again. In 2025, we hired more than 4,000 new officers, the largest number hired in a single year on record.
That kind of growth does not happen by chance. It happens when a profession earns the confidence of the city it serves, and when people see this work as something worth stepping forward for.
That matters because there are people who would have you believe policing is a profession in retreat.
Let me be clear: that narrative is wrong.
This year, the NYPD did not experience an unexpected or extreme wave of departures. Retirements were exactly what we projected based on the 3,700 officers hired in 2005.
More importantly, the number of people leaving before 20 years on the job is down more than 40% since 2022. In fact, this year, we’re outpacing attrition by more than 800 officers.
For several years, the NYPD faced staffing challenges that placed real strain on our ability to meet the city’s needs. From the day I took this job, I made it clear our goal was to rebuild our headcount.
And this year, that call is being answered by the recruits sworn in today.
Congratulations to everyone who stepped up to serve this city — and welcome to the NYPD!
Today, we honor the courageous men and women who gave their lives in service to our Nation.
We will never forget their sacrifice, and we will continue to carry on their legacy, today and always.

The Army Transformation Initiative is bold, necessary, and happening now. We're divesting the outdated equipment to invest in lethal, next-gen warfighting tech—like drones, weapons systems, tactical vehicles & comms—fast, not decades from now. ATI will keep our @USArmy lethal and our Soldiers ready to win future wars. #armytransformation #Modernization #Lethality

I am honored to receive President Trump’s @realDonaldTrump nomination to serve as the next Administrator of NASA. Having been fortunate to see our amazing planet from space, I am passionate about America leading the most incredible adventure in human history.
On my last mission to space, my crew and I traveled farther from Earth than anyone in over half a century. I can confidently say this second space age has only just begun. Space holds unparalleled potential for breakthroughs in manufacturing, biotechnology, mining, and perhaps even pathways to new sources of energy. There will inevitably be a thriving space economy—one that will create opportunities for countless people to live and work in space. At NASA, we will passionately pursue these possibilities and usher in an era where humanity becomes a true spacefaring civilization.
I was born after the Moon landings; my children were born after the final space shuttle launch. With the support of President Trump, I can promise you this: We will never again lose our ability to journey to the stars and never settle for second place. We will inspire children, yours and mine, to look up and dream of what is possible. Americans will walk on the Moon and Mars and in doing so, we will make life better here on Earth.
It is the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role and to work alongside NASA’s extraordinary team to realize our shared dreams of exploration and discovery.
Grateful to serve,
Jared
There are 15k SpaceXers working tirelessly to bring the stars closer than they were yesterday, and I’m incredibly proud to be one of them.
We’re looking for the best to help us tackle seemingly impossible challenges- including food services, construction, IT, HR, you name it✨
