Huge shortage in DC area as well. The good news is, if you get a traffic ticket, go to court. 50/50 chance the officer wont show up. I was in court 2 weeks ago, packed court - most people were found not guilty because officers never showed up.

Metro Police: Statistics show there were 277 carjackings in Nashville in 2018 compared to 261 in 2017.
