According to John McNesby, the President of Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge No. 5, Philadelphia police are finding it difficult to hire new recruits, saying, "It's hurting us big-time."
The council may soon require all oncologists to have cancer before they can treat it because if there's one thing that can screw things up, it's a group of leftists who never ran anything but their mouths to screw things up.
In the past, the PPD was able to recruit from outside the city, including military bases, where the guys and gals know which end the bullet comes out of.
"We had a great response. We had a great group of diverse people from all backgrounds working for us," McNesby, who has worked in law enforcement for 35 years, said. "...People aren't going to move to the city of Philadelphia hoping they get a job. They're going to move knowing they have secure employment before they make that move."

Wait! That's just common sense. Who the hell does this union president think he is, Fearless Fosdick?
Due to Philadelphia City Council Bill 200363, McNesby says the department's prospective hiring pool has shrunk. Only two or three out of ten candidates are moved forward in the hiring process.
And let's not forget COVID-19 which has backlogged the 10 month training requirements causing it to have been shut down and only recently restarted. There will likely be no new "boots on the ground" until next spring.
That, along with the 20 or more officers who retire or leave due to injuries every month, has put the department in a fragile position, according to the union president.
Before 2008, Philadelphia had for many years required city employees to be residents of the city for at least a year before being employed. But Democrat Councilman Jim Kenney removed that requirement to "expand the number of potential applicants and increase the competition for job openings, thereby improving the quality of the job applicants and enhancing the diversity of our workforce."

Had he tried that today, BLM would destroy his house.
Then, last June, about a month after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kept his knee on the side of the neck of drug-addled George Floyd and sparked police reform legislation on local and federal levels across the country, the Philadelphia City Council passed Bill 200363 in a 16-to-1 vote.
"Twelve years after the bill’s adoption, it’s worth reviewing whether the diversity of our workforce has been enhanced," the city council said in a June 24 statement. "Philadelphia is a 'minority-majority' city, where about two-thirds of residents are non-white."
The council noted that during the first two quarters of fiscal year 2020, the city's police force was "43% minority," which was "not reflective of city demographics" and "woefully short of the Department’s goal of 58.4%." There also were no transgender men or transgender women of color, nor the correct proportion of Asians, Democrats, Muslims, Jews, Italians, Irish or left-handed people of color.
The city also has a fairly well-represented number of elderly folks and there are absolutely no elderly people in the Philadelphia Police Department. The elderly are not being represented on the PPD.
What gives?
Philadelphia has experienced a record number of shootings and homicides so far in 2021, and police are worried numbers will get worse. Not surprisingly, none of the shootings were committed by NRA members nor has the media reported on the Black-on-Black homicide rate in Philadelphia and the rest of the country.
FACT: the only systemic discrimination in the country sanctioned by law is Affirmative Action that favors one group of people over another in school admissions. That's the definition of racism.
