The Daily News and Newsday (http://nwsdy.li/1IyE0j1) quote Pat Lynch on the hiring of 1,300 new police officers saying it’s “a drop in the bucket” and “understaffing empowers criminals and leads management to make bad policy decisions.” In Newsday, Lynch also notes that because NYC police officers are not paid appropriately, that a reduction in overtime means a reduction in pay while the PC said that there was still money allotted for overtime.
Critics not happy with 1,300 more cops

Pat Lynch says plan to hire 1,000 is a "drop in the bucket":
"Hiring 1,000 new police officers is a drop in the bucket since we have lost nearly 7,000 since since 2001. Understaffing not only empowers criminals, but it leads management to make bad policy decisions like quotas for police activities in an effort to compensate for the shortage. The City should fill the new Police Academy now and keep filling it until we reach Safe Streets, Safe City levels of staffing before crime gets out of control."

The Legislative Gazette reports on the PBA/UFA rally in Albany and the political skullduggery by City Hall to undermine both unions’ efforts. Pat Lynch is quoted at the rally saying: "You'll talk to some downstate that'll say this is about dollars and cents and we know whether the patch says PD or the patch says FD, this is not about dollars and cents, this is about our brothers and sisters, this is about right and wrong.”

The latest installment in the PBA's ad campaigns calls attention to the fact that the Citizens Budget Commission, a budget watchdog group, is testifying on behalf of the City in the PBA's PERB arbitration hearings. The ad notes that the business leaders who serve on the CBC's board have benefited from the public safety turnaround that New York City police officers have made possible.
