We\u2019re not only losing experienced veterans.

That will drive even more cops to pursue other opportunities where they can make more money and have a better quality of life,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>The rush at the NYPD\u2019s Pension Section office at 1 Police Plaza on Thursday resembled a concert ticket giveaway, the police source noted.
