Feliz on recruitment benefits and recognizing military experience
Feliz notes that expanding pathways into public service provides opportunities for individuals with valuable life and professional experience to pursue law enforcement careers, and that the bill recognizes military service by accounting for active duty time in age eligibility.
As the NYPD continues efforts to recruit and retain qualified officers, expanding pathways into public service may help provide additional opportunities for individuals with valuable life and professional experience
to pursue a career in law enforcement.
The bill also recognizes the contributions of individuals who have served in the military by accounting for time spent on active duty when determining the age-related requirements.
I'll pass it on to Councilmember Farias for her opening statement.
