A10shun · Senior Member

Any numbers floating around for this month?

Passit100 · Senior Member

Does anyone think the election of mamdani will slow down promotions?

Andrew337 · Veteran Member

Lets hope not. They cleared 40 LT and 125 SGT for November.

Whats the good word on this ?

El Norte · Senior Member

Any predictions on a possible exodus of personnel next year? And how this will play out for the current lists. I say vacancies increase but will they get filled? That is the question.

Tunit · Senior Member

The exodus of experienced officers began during COVID and hasnt stopped since. The overall competency of many new jacks is lacking. The few who make their way now to DB (when we even manage to get new white shields) are often phone-calls. At this point, the wheels are already in motion and the die is cast. This isnt a hole that can be easily or quickly filled. I know it sounds pessimistic, but its simply the reality. I believe most of the experienced and competent cops are only sticking around long enough to hit their 20. Burnout is so widespread that people have simply stopped caring. What does all of this mean for the current lists? Honestly, the promo numbers should continue as they have been. Lowered job requirements and hiring standards have helped us plug the immediate staffing issues, but that approach carries its own long-term consequences that most of us can already foresee. I wish us all luck. Try to take care of each other. And if you are lucky enough to have a competent boss that looks out for you, show them some respect. There definitely seems to be a lack of that lately, too. Rant over- stay safe, and God bless.

Man, you couldnt have said it any better. Ive been saying this for years. Im in DB coming up on 10 years now and the experience is basically all gone. Its going to be a while until its even possible to fix. It will get even worse when they cut the transit overtime and I believe that is coming in 2026 for sure.

Big classes hit 20 years every 6 months from July 2024 through July 2028.
We're at the start of this not the end, so the lists will move quickly.

Isleshcky · Newbie

I know everything is subject to change but does anyone know if the December promotion would be 12/23 or the Friday after Christmas 12/26? Trying to figure out some travel issues.

No1isbetter · Guru

I would have to say 12/26 with a Monday BMOC.

Isleshcky · Newbie

Thank you!

Noice · Senior Member

Promo will probably not be the day after Christmas, everyone is on vacation, etc...most likely date would be the 19th, or maybe the 22/23.

No1isbetter · Guru

That shit dont matter in BMOC.

Brooklynsfinest711 · Veteran Member

Dec promos are expected to be prior to Christmas Day. It would most likely be on 12/23.

TrafficEnforcer546 · Member

Can anyone confirm November date and numbers?

3testwonder · Senior Member

Andrew337 · Veteran Member

An increase to which numbers ? The 50-55 or the 20s, lol.

Whocares718 · Member

Yesterday there were more clearance done for Lts and Capts. No one knows what this lady will do, literally the worst with zero police experience.
