If you cannot find qualified people to hire, possibly you are the problem. If you can't keep the peace even with a patrol car on every corner (Chicago?) perhaps it's time to try another approach?
The so-called War on Drugs was a good example of what not to do. Billions upon billions wasted with zero results - anyone think our drug problems have gotten better? We have jails full of low level dealers costing 50-60K/year to house, and they are immediately replaced on the street with no impact at all.
IMO, the first step is to admit that the current approach is not working, and new solutions are needed - not just throw more money at it.

Every day it seems we see new headlines ,videos of just how well the new progressive programs and ideas are working, defunding the police in areas devastated by crime, a no brainer , why have we never thought of this before, Restorative Justice, no bond . low bond back out on the street, their not criminals just misunderstood and haven't talked to their therapist yet a few more thefts, assaults, a felony it not the point, keeping them locked up isn't good for them
