Metropolis Councilmember Gail Brewer, who represents the Higher West Facet, mentioned whereas she doesn’t agree with the concept cops are hiding out, she agrees extra have to be on the streets.

“You have to look at every job a cop is doing and find out why there are doing it because there’s usually a reason,” Brewer mentioned. “Every position has to be looked at carefully.”

The mayor’s remarks took a special tone from statements police brass made earlier than the Metropolis Council in March, the place they insisted the one solution to deal with a staffing scarcity was by additional time. Additional time final yr exceeded $1 billion.

“Our biggest challenge with reducing overtime is the unforeseen and unknown,” Chief of Division Jeffrey Maddrey mentioned in March.
