芝加哥警方将在2026年暂停招聘和训练, 尽管有984个空缺职位, Chicago Police will pause hiring and training in 2026 to stay under a $200M overtime cap despite 984 open positions.

芝加哥警察总监Larry Snelling告诉市议会,尽管有984个公开宣誓职位,2026年夏季,该部将延缓招聘和暂停学校培训,使其维持在2亿美元的加班费上限之下。 Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling told the City Council the department will slow hiring and pause academy training in summer 2026 to stay under a $200 million overtime cap, despite 984 open sworn positions. 他指出,自去年以来,加班时间减少,杀人案件减少38%,这归功于社区合作和改善案件清理工作的进展。 He cited a drop in overtime hours and a 38% decline in homicides since last year, attributing progress to community cooperation and improved case clearance. 虽然总体犯罪率有所下降,但对资源不足的县的人员配置以及心理健康和培训经费问题仍感到关切。 While crime overall is down, concerns remain over staffing in under-resourced districts and funding for mental health and training. 该部正在更换其取消的肖特波特系统,预计到2026年初会有一个新的供应商。 The department is replacing its canceled Shotspotter system, with a new vendor expected by early 2026.
