Half of Antioch police force is on some type of paid leave; six new officers hired this week.
ANTIOCH – “How low do we have to go?”
Another 51 officers are on administrative leave, either on light duty, on medical leave or out for other reasons. It is unclear how many are on leave due to the racist texting scandal, the investigation of which is still underway with outside investigators. Vigil, acting police chief for only two months, delivered the grim news in a report on staffing and crime, the first in many months. In thein early April, 62 officers “were able to report for full duty” and 99 full-time officers were on staff, according to then-Acting City Manager Forrest Ebbs.
The seven investigators also are handling about 300 cases, and the department is expected to lose three of them in October, Vigil said.“We’re going to have burnout not only with our officers, we’re going to continue to lose officers going to other places where they don’t have to work overtime every day and not 115,000 people with four people policing the city for a 12-hour period,” he said. “I just think that is absolutely ludicrous.
