, according to an Independent Budget Analyst report, and likely more given the increase in vacancies since the report’s publication. I will continue to fight for funding to fill the existing vacant sworn police officer positions, and at the same time I will call on SDPD to develop a new five-year staffing plan.
A: The San Diego Police Department plays an absolutely crucial role in deterring and responding to crime.

This issue has been the subject of three grand jury reports, and the voters have not had a chance to vote on it in decades. If the ballot measure passes, it will allow the city greater flexibility to manage its solid waste collection system, similar to every other city in California.
