The NYPD will add another 900 cops to the force over the next two months to make up for the headcount reduced by this year's budget cuts.

The department faced a $1 billion cut this year, forcing it to cancel its July class.

These new recruits will enter the academy on a rolling basis starting on Dec. 29 through February, and are an addition to the class that began last month.

“It’ll be a shot in the arm,” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea told NY1.

“It’s great news to the NYPD and the people of New York,” he said.

The department’s headcount was reduced by 1,200 in the spring.

“From there we started to see the huge attrition,” said Shea.

There are still hundreds of fewer police officers this year compared to last year, even as crime in the city continues to rise.

The police commissioner urged New Yorkers to go to their local precinct or the department website with any community issues.

“Your neighborhood policing officers are listed right there. Email them. Their email address is there. And this is the kind of communication we need — whether it’s a blocked driveway, whether it’s loud parties or whether it’s a serious crime or anything else,” said Shea.

He admitted the NYPD probably hasn’t done a great job vocalizing that this is available.

The department is also gearing up to have members vaccinated for COVID-19 as Pfizer’s first doses reach New York City.

Shea said the shot will not be mandatory, a point Mayor Bill de Blasio reiterated when asked about it during his press briefing later in the day.

"The best approach is to educate people and to get them bought in, answer the questions - there's a lot of valid questions," de Blasio said. "The more this is voluntary, the better off we are."

Shea said members who want it will probably start getting vaccinated at the end of December or early January. The NYPD has begun making videos so the department knows what to expect.

“We’re just working out the logistics,” said Shea.
