Chicago Police Department staffing numbers reached the lowest in recent history at the end of March, as more than 300 uniformed members had resigned or retired from the department and over a dozen others had stepped down.
had resigned or retired from the department and over a dozen others had stepped down, Fox News Digital has learned.
And 2021’s departure statistics showed a staggering increase from prior years, with 678 sworn officers leaving in 2020, 611 retiring or resigning in 2019, 476 in 2018, and 627 in 2017, records show. At the time, he said 2020’s attrition rate was 4%, compared to the 8.5% attrition rate reported for 2021, "which is not officers leaving in droves, but it is quite a bit of a challenge to have that level of increase," he said.
"So, a couple things happened in 2021," Brown said. "What happened is that we really thought that this would be an ongoing challenge in the impact of what many called, ‘Generation resignation’…not just policing, but in other professions." The Chicago branch of the Fraternal Order of Police did not respond to Fox News Digital’s requests seeking comment, but union president John Catanzara, Jr., estimated in the beginning of April that it would take "at least five to 10 years to recoup the losses in manpower in police forces across this country, Chicago specifically."
