Police Union Warns of Mass Departures | Providence News

Providence’s police union is sounding the alarm, warning up to 100 officers could quit within a year as the city prepares for a new mayor — and they’re worried the incoming administration might not prioritize their needs. Union president Michael Imondi, who previously backed the current mayor, expressed concern that without strong support and resources, morale could plummet. He noted the mayor-elect reached out to other unions but not theirs — raising eyebrows — and recalled the candidate’s earlier call to defund police, which he later walked back. While the mayor-elect, David Morales, says he’s ready to collaborate and listen, the union remains cautious. With the general election still months away and a Republican opponent looming, tensions are simmering as the city braces for change.
