In the Executive Perspective episode 57, Ron and Rob will delve into the recent New York Post article that highlights the significant number of NYPD members with over 20 years of service who are eligible for retirement. They will explore Mayor Mamdani’s plan to drastically reduce overtime, which could impact their pension totals and potentially force these officers to retire to secure their financial future.

Furthermore, they will discuss the ongoing decline in morale within the NYPD under Mayor Mamdani’s leadership. This decline is attributed to his anti-police rhetoric and lack of support, particularly in light of three major incidents that occurred within the first 2.5 months of his tenure. These incidents include:

• The officer involved shooting where Mayor Mamdani visited the subject who charged the officers with a knife and urged the Queens District Attorney not to press charges.
• The “Snowball Gate” incident where Mayor Mamdani refused to acknowledge that officers were attacked by a crowd and pursued them down the street.
• The lack of appearances and support from Mayor Mamdani for officers following the ISIS-inspired bomb attempt near Gracie Mansion.

They will also examine whether these incidents will lead to an increase in retirements.

Ron and Rob will provide their executive perspective on a recent viral video of an officer punching a handcuffed subject. They will analyze whether the use of force was justified or excessive and discuss the potential determinations made by the Duty Inspector and Duty Chief in such a situation.

Join the interactive chat for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion.

On this episode of New York’s Finest: Retired & Unfiltered, John, Eric and Marlon break down NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Department of Community Safety (DCS) , a new agency that could fundamentally reshape how 911 calls are handled.

Here’s what you need to know:

Over 4.3 million 911 calls handled by the NYPD in 2024

More than 123,000 emotionally disturbed person (EDP) calls

Now, City Hall wants to shift responsibilities away from the police

But here’s the real question…

Who shows up when things go bad?
Can civilians handle unpredictable, dangerous situations?
Or is this another political experiment at the expense of public safety?

John and Eric break down the data, risks, and real-world consequences of removing trained police officers from critical response roles — and why this plan could leave New Yorkers more vulnerable than ever.

This isn’t theory. This is reality.

️ In this episode:
️ What the Department of Community Safety actually is
️ What calls may be taken away from the NYPD
️ Why overlap between agencies could create chaos
️ The danger of delayed or misclassified 911 responses
️ How politics and optics may be driving policy
