Why does LMPD keep hiring more officers? I know people keep saying we are not full strength, but wouldn't it be cheaper to offer overtime during peak times? I mean instead of hiring more officers and paying for training, equipment, insurance, and pensions, it seems to me overtime would be more effective. I wouldn't think there would be a problem filling overtime, since most people prefer overtime to off-duty.
