The mayor’s budget calls for reducing the police force by about 150 officers. However, city leaders say this doesn’t take away from public safety.
“Vacancies don’t keep the city safe,” said Cleveland’s Chief Director of Public Safety, Karrie Howard. “The police officers who are out there actually doing the work, keep the city safe.”The 500-page document eliminates just over 250 positions within the city. 142 of them, coming from the Cleveland Police Department. However, it’s not quite what it seems. All CPD positions on the chopping block are vacant, meaning no one loses their job.
That struggle is reflected in CPD’s current numbers. According to Chief Drummond, the police department has just under 1,300 officers, putting them down around 200 officers even in the new budget. Filling and retaining those open positions is certainly a daunting task ahead. However, Chief Drummond says they’ll do everything they can to get there.Union President Jeff Follmer sent 19 News this statement: “It’s disappointing to see the mayor’s position on decreasing our numbers. The union has concerns on our officer safety and officers getting burned out. With a reduced number, I cannot see how the city of Cleveland will get quality service and feel safe.
