Amid the defund the police movement, Chicago police officers are retiting in record numbers, while many are leaving the big city department for smaller ones.
An ex-officer spoke about their decision to leave the Chicago police department on the condition of anonymity, reported CBS . The former officer said, “I think that you have to take care of yourself first. I was frustrated with the work schedule and being put in unexpected situations,” adding his cohort is underpaid for the role.
Serving eight years at the Chicago Police Department (CPD), he knows of at least 10 others who’ve done the same in the past year.
Among the contributing factors for the declining include self-preservation, forced overtime and canceled days off, along with plummeting CPD ranks.
The large number of retirements has sparked a policing crisis in Chicago, according to Alderman Anthony Beale. “People don’t want to be the police. The police don’t want to be the police,” said Beale.
City Budget Director Susie Park said to expect 908 officer vaccines by 2022, but Beale said that number is higher. “People fail to realize last year we wiped 614 vacancies out of last year’s budget, and when we talk about that we’re down 1,000 officers, we’re actually down 1,600 officers.
The Chicago alderman contends the city’s policing shortage isn’t solely because officers are leaving or retiring, but that even if the city wanted to fill all its current officer vacancies, it couldn’t.

Police Supt. David Brown said about 5,000 people applied to Chicago’s police academy in 2021, compared to about 30,000 in previous years.
“By the time you get people to take the test, pass the test, go through the background check, and get in the academy, by then we’re into 2023 going into 2024,” said Beale, who believes there are less than 100 cadets in the academy.The alderman said hiring goes hand-in-hand with initiatives to help combat root causes of violence, as major cities experience higher rates of violent crime, leading law enforcement to conclude the factors are related.”I knew I was going to be put in worse working situations and conditions from there on because they […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
