“We can’t have good schools if they’re not safe. Businesses can’t thrive if they’re not safe,” Gamaldi claimed. “All of it starts with public safety, and that’s where the investment needs to be first. And make no mistake, we are hemorrhaging police officers nationwide — we have record amounts of retirements, record amounts of resignations to the tune of 45% increase in resignations nationwide.

“So this financing is required to not simply hire the future generation of policemans, however to maintain the experience that we have now. If we do not make a financial investment in the police specialists that we have currently, I imply, we can shed this entire point for a whole generation … Obviously, it is a great deal of cash, however it’s definitely required now, and it’s truly required currently especially.”

Although the Wheat Ridge Police Department currently has a sufficient number of officers, Rose said extra funding would help them establish “that this is a great department to start your career, and… demonstrate that it’s an excellent department to finish your career.”
