Retiree Wave Growing

One of our old contacts from the source-of-all-evil (HQ) mentioned to us at the drinking establishment church service the other day that on 15 January, almost one-hundred-twenty-five Officers left the job. 

Combine that with our recent post about no job openings listed for actual Police and the manpower issue takes on a serious note....again.

Conehead already proposed (succeeded?) in the old 9.5 Dwarf trick of eliminating vacancies in the budget, then claiming CPD is "up to strength." Rahm got rid of nearly 2,000 spots that way, and Conehead was looking at another thousand, minimum.

Now, all the people hired with Clinton anti-crime money started maxing out last year and even more will continue maxing out for another two years - probably around 3,000-to-4,000 cops total with this summer probably being the biggest retiree numbers in thirty or forty years.

Anyone hear the Conehead Plan for weathering this storm?
