"At the end of 2010, the New York City Police Department had the most diverse force in its history, with a majority of rank-and-file police officers coming from minority communities, officials said. "Of the 22,199 officers on patrol, nearly 53% were black, Latino or Asian, marking the first time minorities outnumbered whites by any significant measure, according to police department statistics reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Minorities had been in a dead-heat with white patrol officers since late 2006, and began inching toward a majority in 2008. "The trend has brought the department's racial breakdown closer to the overall ethnic makeup of the city. "To be sure, the department's white members are still the majority, comprising 53% of the 34,526-member police force and holding an overwhelming majority when it comes to the higher ranks, especially in executive positions. Numbers from 2010 show only fractional increases in minority officers joining the ranks of detectives, sergeants, lieutenants and captains, bolstering critics' claims that the force is not making enough of an effort to diversify its command structure." |
