HOUSTON – The Houston Police Officers’ Union is looking to recruit officers from the New York Police Department who may be upset with the outcome of the 2025 mayoral election.
A flyer shared with KPRC 2 from the Houston Police Officers’ Union specifically named NYPD officers and noted HPD is hiring.

“NYPD, are you disgusted with the election of Zohran Mamdani? Join us!” the flyer reads.
Mamdani was elected as New York City’s mayor on Tuesday, and will become the youngest mayor of New York City in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1.
Mamdani was a fierce critic of the New York Police Department in 2020, calling for “this rogue agency” to be defunded and slamming it as “racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety.” He has since apologized for those comments and has said he will ask the current NYPD commissioner to stay on the job, according to the Associated Press.
KPRC 2 has reached out to the NYC Police Officer’s Union for their comment on the flyer.
