Memphis PD Exodus?

[2Lucky]

I've been hearing a lot of officers, 40-50, are leaving MPD and many more are applying for other depts. Anyone from MPD care to shed some light on this rumor?

On the 6 O'clock news, channel 5 last night, it was reported the mayor stated the fire dept and the police dept needed to cut 19 million from their budget's.

This after MPD didn't get a raise last year!!??? If they miraculously found 19 million in the MFD budget, then why do they need to cut anymore? I admit, I am no expert when it comes to finances, however, when you don't get a raise and there is talk of cutting more money, now what?

Hi lazycop,

Also, with the study costing over 600,000, I'm sure a lot of the uniformed patrol appreciate even more not getting a raise last year.

I am still hoping things turn around for the officers. With a new mayor in office, one who doesn't hate the cops, anything is possible!
