So, where will these officers work next year?

The city is hoping that attrition will cover it. It might. The force has about 1800 officers. Not hard to see 25 retirements on the horizon.

So that will result in a net gain of zero. Gee, that helps a lot. They sink a pile of federal money into the police department and the city end up with the same number of cops that they started with.
