    This is an unfortunate reality all across the country, just Google "Police staffing low" and you'll find plenty of similar stories elsewhere. I think there are several factors involved but the largest by far is politics (fueled by a heavily biased, agenda focused media) and the demonization of law enforcement over the past 10 years. All I ever wanted to be groing up was a LEO like my father and uncle. Now I'd do anything to dissuade my children from following the same path.

    I think you are right Phylo. Politics, media bias, general demonization and a growing distrust in LE has taken a toll. I see/meet new recruits once they hit the street with an FTO, and many that I have seen for the last two or three years make me wonder what direction things are going.
