ABC7's data analysis found that OPD's budget increased by 17.9 percent from 2019 to 2022. So how was all the money spent? Here's what the I-Team uncovered.
"The chief does not have the authority to cut positions, those are all city council decisions," Armstrong said."That's not true. The 911 has always been a priority. And this council made many efforts to make sure we are fully staffed and the police have to provide a monthly report to us on staffing.""So where's the disconnect here? The chief on one hand is saying he's been forced to cut all these positions - 68 of them.
While OPD's budget has seen a sizeable increase since 2019, reform advocates told the I-Team the city's community response programs created to help respond to mental health calls are still struggling to get the necessary funding to operate 24/7.
