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.

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.
