Decision comes as officers flee the force in record numbers

The New York Police Department is lowering its recruitment standards to allow more women on the force, a decision that comes as the Defund the Police movement drives officers out of the ranks in record numbers.

The NYPD this month removed its 1.5-mile timed run requirement in the hopes of increasing its applicant pool after too many women failed the test. Mayor Eric Adams (D.) ultimately approved the decision, despite internal disagreement, the New York Post reported (nypost.com).

removed its 1.5-mile timed run....

With some of the cops I've interacted with, you could make it a 1.5 mile untimed run and it would still act as a filter.
