Chattanooga Police Chief talks improved vacancy rates, pay raises, cutting down on crime with tech

The Chattanooga Police Department (CPD) recently graduated its largest cadet class in over a decade, addressing long-standing challenges in recruitment and retention. A 23% vacancy rate was reduced to 9% with realigned roles, including a dedicated HR director and recruiting coordinator. The department aims to achieve a 0% vacancy rate by March 2023. Competitive pay and a supportive culture are crucial for retention. CPD's innovative use of technology has significantly reduced crime rates, with shootings down 26% and homicides at a 94% clearance rate. The goal is to maintain these improvements and expand community outreach programs. _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: WTVC on Facebook:   / wtvcnewschannel9   WTVC on Twitter:   / newschannelnine   WTVC on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newschannel...
