58 people won't fix anything. A greater number than that will be gone before they can finish training. The recruiting, hiring and training pipeline takes too long to keep up with attrition. They will have to take more drastic steps than this. Anyone who's worked in other departments knows there's nothing special about LMPD training. It's lackluster at best. The only realistic chance they have of catching up is doing a bunch of 3-day testing events for out-of-towners so they only have to make 1 trip
