Police Department Underhiring
I heard from a reliable source yesterday that the City of St. Louis is about 140 police officers short of their hiring authority. This source said the problem was that the pay was low and the work more difficult and dangerous than in the surrounding communities. Something must be done to change this situation. I also wonder what bureaucratic city policies might be getting in the way. As we are getting nearer a full employment economy, we need to figure out a way to hire more officers and cure our serious crime problem. Written by Paul Dribin
