IMPD is still 322 officers short even with the 33 recruits who started their training Monday, IMPD officials said. 115 officers have left the department since January and another 50 or so are expected to leave by February of next year.
INDIANAPOLIS — The day after a new police recruits began their training, the president of the Indianapolis police union said staffing remained dangerously low.
Snyder said 115 officers have left the department since January and another 50 or so are expected to leave by February of next year."They get best trained, seasoned professionals in Indiana at a fraction of the start up costs and expedite them to the streets," Snyder said.IMPD has curtailed property crime investigations and traffic enforcement efforts, Snyder said.
"Our community expects its police department to work with them to reduce violent crime, respond to 911 calls for service, investigate and solve major crimes, engage with them and maintain our high levels of training." “Getting days off is really hard for patrol," IMPD Recruitment Officer Molly McAfee told WRTV in May 2022."Moving around the department — usually there’s a lot of movement and promotions, but you can’t fill a slot until you have someone to backfill."The department recently increased pay for starting officers to nearly $72,000 a year, erected recruiting billboards in other statesand has launched a new recruiting campaign. The depaertment has a website, JoinIMPD.indy.
