true. though there continues to be a retirement vs. new recruit issue. the numbers cited are flat but there's still a hole of like 1,000 officers or something that was there under lightfoot.
Johnson was forced at the end of the campaign to promise that he would not cut one single dollar from the police budget.
it's all political nonsense because they can move expenses around and funds around to tell the story they want to tell.
