Hamlet, of course. Let's all take a moment to underline this or highlight it or whatever you do. Hamlet promises to avenge his father. He does, no fingers crossed behind his back or anything. Got it? Good. That's the moment the rest of the play hinges on, and it sets up the antic disposition business, which is the reason you're here in the first place. Hamlet comes back from this revealing rendezvous and swears his friends to secrecy.
The strengths of the NYPD are the potential to specialize in may areas (which may be done without making detective) and the relative fairness of the promotion process. The job is what you make of it and going for either Detective or Boss is the way to go for most. However, as it stands, it takes a minimum of 9 years to reach top pay as a Sgt. This is assuming the test is timed right, you pass it and are promoted at five years (the minimum time required in grade to make Sgt.). Those are BIG assumptions. Even if you accomplish this you will essentially make a cops salary until your 9th year. Detectives wait longer.
The swearing in represented the start of a buildup requested by the police commissioner and approved by the mayor and the City Council when they adopted a city budget in June. The police commissioner says by the end of next year, those additional 1,300 officers will be on the city's streets. With the extra head count, there will be nearly 36,000 officers on the force. The police union, though, continues to say that's not enough. It wants to see 40,000 officers, like the NYPD had 15 years ago. We have to go back to the numbers of safe streets, safe cities, which gave us enough police officers to proactively go after the crime. That's what saved this city, said PBA President Pat Lynch.
