New Cincinnati police chief says personnel changes will help fill patrol gaps

With a police department facing ongoing manpower issues and city gun violence the new chief of the Cincinnati Police Department said she is focused on tackling both issues and taxpayers and police officers can expect changes in the new year. “We will be having a meeting here shortly after the first of the year to sit down and talk about reallocation of personnel,” said Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge. “I don’t have every officer I need; we still need to up our game in hiring some officers.”
