A defensive NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton on Tuesday admitted that the department’s much-mocked retraining program for 22,000 officers is “a work in progress” and said he will make changes “as are appropriate.”
His comments came less than a week after The New York Post exclusively reported that officers were falling asleep during some of the lectures and also had been told to pop breath mints when they felt like cursing.
