Merit or Quotas ? Inside the NYPD's Discretionary Promotion System

In this episode of The Finest Unfiltered, we break down internal NYPD promotion data and a 2018 NYPD-commissioned study by Columbia Business School that raises serious questions about whether NYPD promotions are truly merit-based.

The data shows a more than four-year difference in promotion timelines from Captain to Deputy Inspector based on race and gender. Asian male captains waited the longest on average, while other groups were promoted significantly faster disparities the NYPD has never clearly explained.

Discussed is an NYPD-commissioned study, promotion data, and a former Chief’s own words, which raises serious questions about merit, race, and discretion inside NYPD promotions. We break down the evidence.

This episode is data-driven, source-based, and focused on process, accountability, and transparency not politics.

*If you have ever felt you were wrongfully passed over for a discretionary promotion in the NYPD you are going to want to tune in.
