Police officers nationwide have quit in droves over the last year while law enforcement agencies have struggled to attract new recruits because of the increasingly “toxic” political environment, police groups said.

More than 5,300 New York Police Department officers retired or quit in 2020, a 75% increase compared to 2019, while more than 200 officers quit the Seattle Police Department, citing the growing anti-police climate.
