Americans are fleeing deep blue New York for deep red Florida.
Just one year after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis launched the Law Enforcement Recruitment Bonus Program police officers are leaving New York and coming to Florida.
At least 530 have relocated to the state – these include officers from New York, California, Texas, and Pennsylvania.
One former NYPD officer said, “after working in the NYPD for 17 years, I began to feel as if the city I served no longer supported my efforts. I decided to look into relocating my family and practicing law enforcement elsewhere.”
Another former NYPD officer said, “New York’s over-taxation is burdensome and pays for failed policies that have led to both a dramatic increase in crime and decrease in quality-of-life.”
One year after Gov. Ron DeSantis launched Florida’s Law Enforcement Recruitment Bonus Program, the state has awarded over 1,750 bonuses to newly employed law enforcement recruits. At least 530 of them relocated from out of state, with 200 coming from New York, California, Texas and Pennsylvania.

One former NYPD officer, Davey, who relocated to central Florida last year to serve in the Clermont Police Department, said, “After working in the NYPD for 17 years, I began to feel as if the city I served no longer supported my efforts. I decided to look into relocating my family and practicing law enforcement elsewhere.”
He began the process to join the Clermont PD before the bonus program was offered but still qualified for it. He said the program “carried a message that was very reassuring—law enforcement were welcome and embraced here in the state of Florida.” And the bonus money he received paid his first mortgage payment, he said. Money that came “from a state that truly supports its officers! My family and I are grateful for this blessing as it has made us feel welcome and has affirmed our decision to move.”
Another former NYPD officer, Rob, who also joined Clermont PD, said he relocated to Florida because “New York’s over-taxation is burdensome and pays for failed policies that have led to both a dramatic increase in crime and decrease in quality-of-life.”
After 25 years and four promotions at the NYPD, he said, “the choice of moving to Florida was an easy one.” Florida’s cost of living and weather is far better, he says and “the people and the government in Florida are far more appreciative and supportive of law enforcement.”
Liberal policies are ruining states all across the country.
