They would say it's because police are getting better at their jobs or something
Or maybe that fewer police = fewer crimes being caught and tracked for statistic purposes
Crimes aren't tracked by completion rate, just by report. While staffing rates might be down, that wouldn't affect total number of crimes reported as nearly all people are covered by third party 911 service.
...and if they can day that with a straight face, give them an Oscar!
