While the ticking of the clock exposes problems for major US cities, the calendar also remains far from friendly to the safety of their citizens and businesses. As unprecedented numbers of police officers opt to resign, retire – or even face termination - protesting working conditions and the vaccine mandate, many of America’s cities race towards lawlessness. A recent conversation with a retired Seattle police officer paints a grim picture. According to the nearly thirty-year law enforcement veteran, the mismanagement of Seattle’s police force could take a generation to repair.
During his time, he approximated 30-50 officers retired or resigned each year, and roughly the same number of new recruits replaced them. Yet, the challenge of massive numbers leaving is compounded by the time to replace each sworn officer.
For example, the police department issues a notice about upcoming testing for the force - which takes several days (weeks) to accomplish. Once the initial testing is complete, the police department has a pool of candidates to take to the next level..............According to news reports, in April 2021, 180 Seattle police officers quit in 2020, and an additional 66 officers left by Spring of 2021. Many predict more than 200 other Seattle cops will go due to concerns over the mandatory vaccine policies.
Replacing 30-50 cops per year requires a significant investment of time and money. Replacing 400+ seems a Herculean for a well-managed and united city – and nearly impossible in the chaos created by the Seattle and Washington political establishment.
The people and businesses of Seattle can only expect harsher times. Even if Seattle started the process of mass hiring this very day, the words of the retired police officer ring hauntingly true: It will take a generation...............While a path exists for law enforcement to seek a better life outside of toxic political cities, the only course for residents of places Seattle looks bleak – and lawless..............To Read More....
