Officer shortages are so dire in the Washington, D.C., area that one county police department is planning to send officials to Puerto Rico in an attempt to bring back hundreds of new recruits, the department announced Monday.
Law enforcement officials in Marylandās Prince Georgeās County, which borders D.C., told the cityās Fox affiliate that they plan to travel to the Caribbean island āsoonā in an attempt to hire the roughly 350 officers they need to achieve a full staff. In addition to the tropical recruitment trip, the countyās police department is targeting Hispanic communities at parades and other events across the country and running ads in Spanish.
At least they are still trying.
Other communities seem to have given up completely.
