NYPD members forced to return to work in-person amid George Floyd riots

All NYPD employees previously allowed to work from home during the coronavirus crisis must now report for duty in person — another “all hands on deck” move amid escalating citywide looting that has co-opted protests over George Floyd’s police-custody death in Minneapolis, law enforcement sources told the Post Tuesday.
All full-duty uniformed cops previously issued “reasonable accommodations” during the pandemic must report for duty at the Police Academy in College Point, Queens, Tuesday afternoon, according to an internal memo obtained by the Post.
All uniformed members who are not full-duty must report to their permanent commands, the memo says.
“All hands on deck, and by all I mean even the COVID-19-vulnerable,” a police source said of the move.
Another police source said that affected officers are “torn” about returning to work — frustrated about having to sit on the sidelines but “also still concerned about COVID and underlying conditions.”
Even civilian members should “be prepared” to make a return, according to the memo.
The decision comes as the NYPD has moved all its officers to 12-hour shifts this week, a “war time” response “to the ongoing civil unrest,” a police source said Monday.
