CPD working to fill 975 patrol officer vacancies, 105 detective openings, top mayoral aide says – Chicago Sun-Times*

Ald. Harry Osterman asked how many detective positions were vacant and was told it was 105. That’s 10.4% of an overall 1,016-detective contingent, that, critics have said, is one-sixth the detective force New York City has.

no money for “nuthing” except public pensions—

The last few CPD entrance exams have been disasters because hardly anyone showed up. Who in their right mind would want to be a cop in Chicago/Cook County area?
