It's kind of a long story. Maybe one day I'll write out a more complete version but the short of it is I no longer felt good about doing it. Without going too far into politard territory, I've grown to feel there is an overall problem with policing in America and although I'd consider the NYPD to be among the best law enforcement agencies in the country, they still are part of the problem and aren't actively working to be a part of the solution.
I also think an auxiliary/reserve police program can be a great thing but the NYPD's implementation of it leaves a lot to be desired, in terms of training, recruitment, rules of engagement, and where the program fits within the department.
