Chicago police officers are retiring at a rapid pace, raising concerns the number of new hires won’t keep pace with the number leaving.
The trend started earlier this summer, with CPD officers retiring at more than double the normal rate. According to the City, 59 officers are retiring in August and another 51 in September, more than double the average of about 24 per month.
Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara said he noticed the rise in retirees right after unrest and rioting began in the city.
“I’m surprised they’re not higher to be honest with you,” Catanzara said. “It was pretty obvious right away, May 29 and 30 specifically.”
I'm not surprised. AND there will be all of that inexperience in one place. That has suck all over it.
