Investigative Reporter at News 5 Cleveland
Cleveland continues to struggle to recruit and retain police officers. News 5 Investigators found 87 officers left the force between Jan. 1 and Sept. 1 this year. Records show 42 of the officers who left the department resigned. Records also show 39 officers retired, and three were terminated. One officer left for medical reasons, and two other officers passed away.
'When the phrase understaffed is constantly thrown around, I am challenged by that,' said Todd. 'It really bothers me.' 'They're basing numbers on past police enforcement. It's how we did our job before,' she said. 'We have technology now. We have analysts now. We have a lot of other factors that exist just beyond the officers who are answering the calls for service.' 'I think we're doing a great job,' Todd added.
