The NYPD welcomed nearly 1,100 new recruits to its police academy on Wednesday — the largest Finest-in-training contingent sworn in by the department in nearly a decade.   The 1,093-strong class is the biggest group to enter the academy since 2016, and breaks the record for the largest band of NYPD recruits hired during Mayor Eric Adams’ administration — last set back in January, when 1,045 cops-in-training joined the ranks.   It also brings the force’s total headcount up to 34,455, law enforcement sources said.
