A lot of departments can't even get qualified applicants, so many positions are there but going unfilled.
Yeah, but the restrictions are also getting loosened to fill some of the positions. So we're getting the people we never thought should be on the police force either ๐ฌ at least that's the case in Chicago. It makes for a worse experience over time.
Don't get me wrong, there is so much reform that's needed still. If there's an emergency I am calling the police, and I'd like someone who knows what they're doing to respond.
