Yeah, and the street guys are getting burnt out from running below minimum and leaving for greener pastures. We might get enough out of the academy to "restock" the officers we lost, but not always. This next class will have enough for about 1 officer per shift in each district. We've lost way more than that in the last 6 months. I think the ship is sinking.Historically there's been a culture of you needed 5 years on the street before you should apply to go inside, especially as a detective. It's not so much about age, it's about having that base of experience under you. That was a good times rule. These are not the good times. Police departments are having trouble recruiting and specialty units are having trouble getting cops. It's tough to overstate the demand and strain placed on major felony detectives and a lot of cops just don't want the extra strain over an already stressful job.
