According to abc6, 215 fewer officers now. Only 55 graduating in current class. $20,000,000 spent to retire officers early. Millions being spent for overtime. Thanks ginther, you, hardin and the rest of city council have created a mess. Worst city leadership evvvverrr!!!

A significant number of the graduating class won't make it through probation or will leave to do something else, making the net loss even more severe.
