[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Chicago hired more police officers, their crime stats decreased dramatically. We need to do whatever these other larger cities are doing because it works.

“The impact of the police shortages has been well documented. Over 50% of high priority 911 calls had no officer available, up from 19% in 2019. Arrests were made in fewer than 12% of all crimes in 2022. Arrests between 2019 and 2021 were down 50%.

While there are many factors that contribute to the rise and fall of violent crime, police officer strength is the most critical. We saw that during Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s first term.

When Emanuel restored public safety positions, adding 1,500 police officers and firefighters between 2017-2019 after a dramatic spike in murders, the number of murders quickly plummeted. When Mayor Lori Lightfoot eliminated 614 positions and failed to fill over 1,000 officer vacancies between 2019-2022, the number of murders and other violent crimes predictably and dramatically increased.”
