The latest NYPD academy class will put 576 new city and MTA cops on the streets and in the city subway system – including some second-generation officers.
The ceremony at Madison Square Garden on Monday consisted of 430 new male officers and another 146 women who will now wear a badge in the Big Apple, the department said.
Police said 63% of the graduates call the five boroughs home, with 54 members of the new class having served time in the military – and bringing 34 different languages to the beat.
The graduates include 33 Metropolitan Transportation Authority officers – including at least three who received their badges from their cop dads, the transit agency said.
