Скачать или смотреть Chattanooga Police Chief talks improved vacancy rates, pay raises, cutting down on crime with tech

The Chattanooga Police Department (CPD) recently graduated its largest cadet class in over a decade, addressing long-standing challenges in recruitment and retention. A 23% vacancy rate was reduced to 9% with realigned roles, including a dedicated HR director and recruiting coordinator. The department aims to achieve a 0% vacancy rate by March 2023. Competitive pay and a supportive culture are crucial for retention. CPD's innovative use of technology has significantly reduced crime rates, with shootings down 26% and homicides at a 94% clearance rate. The goal is to maintain these improvements and expand community outreach programs.
