'We're down about 2,000 patrol officers in the Chicago Police Department right now. We can't hire, recruit and train them fast enough to make up that deficit.'
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is unveiling a new command post coming to River North.
"They've actually been using it for about a month now quietly. They were sort of doing a soft opening to try and phase it in, to test out some of the technology that's there and it's ready to go now. It's fully operational." "It's absolutely going to make a difference. It really is," said Ald. Hopkins."We're down about 2,000 patrol officers in the Chicago Police Department right now. We can't hire, recruit and train them fast enough to make up that deficit. So to have these additional sworn police officers assisting this city is really necessary at this point time."
