Police saw the writing on the wall and started leaving for the suburbs in 2020, just as you and I would take a new job before waiting to be cut by a dying startup.

Do you have a source for that claim or are you speculating? If existing officers fled as you suggest they appear to have been easily replaced.

According to the chief in November, 2021 there were 1,015 deployable officers[0]. As of today, there are 1,325[1].
