Guyanese are second largest recruits to NYPD
New York (New York Daily News) -Nearly a quarter of the New York Police Department’s (NYPD’s) most recent class was born outside the United States, statistics obtained by the Daily News show.
The recruits hail from 49 countries, with the Dominican Republic leading the way as the most popular birthplace.
Yesterday, 616 recruits were set to graduate after six months of training at the Police Academy.
The second most popular birth country is Guyana, with 11 recruits. Ten recruits are from Bangladesh and eight hail from Trinidad and Tobago.
But 26 countries, from Azerbaijan to Yemen, are represented by just one new recruit, the statistics show.
In total, 138 of the recruits were born outside the United States, or about one in four, similar to classes in recent years.
