Today, per the news, the Mayor announced he will cut 50 police positions for the 2010-2011 budget. The city will attempt to avoid to cut officer positions.
The issue is the department does not have much more than 50 non-sworn positions. Those jobs will still need to be done. Officers will be taken off the street do those jobs.
Either way, there will be less policing, less coverage, and inevitably more crime.
