It figures. City leaders have an idea that is a win win and the Police Union wets it's panties.
The NYPD is offering a sweet deal to its retirees, asking hundreds of them to consider part-time, non-patrol jobs with the department while still collecting their pensions, according to a survey sent out Wednesday and obtained by The Post.
The returning retirees would work as recruiters and instructors, and might also be called on to scrutinize applicants and make verification visits to cops who call in sick.
The retirees would work part time in various positions traditionally staffed by active uniformed members of the service, and would work 20-hour weeks at a salary of $30,000 a year, according to the survey.
Along with pension payments, the retirees would accrue sick time and get access to union health benefits, the survey said.
It is unclear if the NYPD sees this as a way to save on new hires, to beef up patrols by getting more full-timers off desk jobs and on the street, or both.
The survey was emailed to retired cops who registered on the NYPDs Actively Retired website, indicating they would be available to help out if there were a catastrophic incident in the city.
