Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb doubled down on the decision to eliminate 140 chronically unfilled positions at the Cleveland Division of Police and 100 other vacancies at City Hall.
CLEVELAND — During more than five hours of intense questioning by members of City Council, Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb doubled down on the decision to eliminate 140 chronically unfilled positions at the Cleveland Division of Police and 100 other vacancies at City Hall — a decision, in part, that was needed to achieve a structurally balanced budget, the mayor said.
In light of the city’s finances and the continued friction between wants and needs, Bibb acknowledged that some of his signature initiatives and desired changes will take time to implement. “Let me tell you this: More policing won’t solve this problem. It won’t. We know that,” Bibb said. “My philosophy on policing is what I call smart, precision policing and law enforcement.”
According to the CPD's most recent annual report, the division tabulated fewer homicides in 2022 than in 2021 ; a total of 25 fewer rapes year over year, and more than 400 fewer felonious assaults compared to 2021. However, the number of reported robberies increased by nearly 100 and reports of stolen motor vehicles increased by nearly 1,200.
