We Have To Have A Plan

Miami-Dade police also plan to boost spending on a unit dedicated to youth crime. For the agency's proposed 2022 budget, $2.6 million will go to 13 officers assigned to the Youth Outreach Unit — a 60% increase. The officers offer mentoring to at-risk youth but also monitor social media for clues to upcoming violence. That includes "music videos that taunt rival groups" and "photos of individuals brandishing firearms," according to a county summary.

When Virginia implemented PROJECT EXILE criminals got the message.
The federal government would rather chase after LEGAL gun owners and
Ignore the ones doing mayhem.

WHEELS UP, GUNS DOWN!!!

Help me? Is my math wrong?? 2.6 million split between 13 new officers = $ 200,000

Recruiting, hiring, training, equipping plus salary and benefits.
Yes, $200,00 per head does sound expensive, but that is what it costs in big cities now a days :>((

It isn't just straught pay.

Equipment, training, vehicles, uniforms, etc...

Training alone is a large chunk of change. Most police academies run around 4 months. Then the officers are not cleared to run call by themselves. The are ride along for other training for another 3 months. It’s very expensive to get new people in the job.
