Overview: The Englewood City Council’s recent meeting focused heavily on the police department’s operational challenges, particularly staffing shortages and increased call volumes, amidst budget discussions for various city departments. A notable decrease in the police department’s salary expenses was reported due to retirements and fewer new hires, but overall operational costs rose. The police department’s Chief highlighted an increase in calls for service, which went up by 18% from the previous year, totaling 61,500 responses. This rise in demand has put a strain on resources, with the Fourth Ward experiencing the highest call volume at 22,000 calls, prompting discussions on strategies to manage these demands.
