canceling days off, in anticipation of a tough Memorial Day weekend????

They expect too much celebration over the weekend???

Maybe they historically have Memorial Day weekend mobs of visitors to the Field Museum and the Art Institute, and things get out of hand???

[Cboldt]

As people leave and are otherwise killed off, all the city functions can be scaled back.

[TomGuy]

If this trend keeps up, NBC may threaten to cancel Chicago PD.

[qam1]

Numbers are meaningless unless they have the total police force number.

[glorgau]

The time and place has come for a new version of Robocop!

[vikingd00d]

The CPD had somewhere around 12,000 officers a few years ago, so this net outflow of 1568 cops represents about a 13% reduction in force. Way to go, Groot!

[toddausauras]

That ugly mayor is a true beast.

If they have no cops, let them use social workers.....Marie Anntonette

[Kartographer]

They just need to do what so many private companies do to compensate for labor shortages automate!

[GOPJ]

Ultra stupid mayor has consequences...

[Midwesterner53]

Let Mayor Fisheyes get out there and do some work.

[T.B. Yoits]

Expect the departures to accelerate. Those left behind cannot keep up with the workload, especially with criminals more emboldened since their Democrat politicians aided and abetted them.

The additional workload of trying to train some of the few recruits while being understaffed is only going to make it worse.

Expect Chicago to hire replacements like the ignorant and unqualified Somali cop in Minneapolis who, while on duty, murdered the Australian woman Justine Diamond.

[Midwesterner53]

There are too many places down South and other areas that love and support cops for anyone to stay in that rat hole.

Why can’t Lightfoot Moonbat just go out on the streets to calm all of her people down?

The Number of Officers Who Have Left Chicago's Police Force Is Staggering

Not Enough.

[dznutz]

Some of those officers leaving haven’t been on too long, it’s not just the guys with 20 or more years on the job that are leaving. Many younger officers are getting out of Dodge to go work for other police departments in cities with a more stable political climate (less crime, no Democrats). I’ve heard of two who just walked into the commanders office and threw their star and hat shield on his desk and told him they quit.
There was a time when 20-30 thousand people would take the test to get on CPD, now they are lucky to get a few thousand, and the quality of some those who make it has really taken a dive.

[Tell It Right]

This is not a bug. This is by design.

[Texas resident]

Chicago fouls up it’s PD on purpose. Cops leave in droves. Dimrat mayor asks for federal help. Feds move in and take over the policing of the city and start rounding up anyone who runs afoul of the ministry of truth.

[Keyhopper]

Boy, I sure hope nobody has Covid and passes it to other officers. That would be a shame😁

[ByteMercenary]

I wonder which movie will come true first ... ‘Escape from New York’ or ‘L.A.’ or ‘Chicongo’..
