Have calls to "defund the police" led to hiring freezes, loss of pay increases, or other negative financial effects on officers and detectives in your location?

Yeah, it's pretty hard to be in Law Enforcement right now, but the hardest thing to conquer isn't the cutbacks... it's the loss of morale. Police work is an all-consuming career in a lot of ways because you have to be hypervigilant and there isn't a way to turn off that response when you're off duty. So holding on to that sense of duty and honor is a really crucial element, and I really feel for those just starting out in this field because they aren't being encouraged to be proud of the job they're doing. They are there to serve the public, even those that hate them. Maybe it's a little self-affirming but they need to know that what they are doing and all they are sacrificing matters to their country

Not in my area, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ever happened

In my department we have not stopped hiring staff, but salary increases have decreased and the perception of the people on the street has changed. It is a complex situation that not only affects us, but society as a whole.

It's a difficult time to be in law enforcement (not like it was ever easy or something, but you know what I mean). There were a lot more opportunities for advancement as recently as 3 years ago, but most of them are gone now, and we're definitely feeling the loss in my department.

The biggest hit has been to our morale. It's really hard to keep your head up and remember that you're doing this for the greater good, with all the negative attention people are throwing our way. We will get through it. But it's certainly harder than it needs to be right now.

I'm a civilian employee and we haven't taken as big of a hit, but things are crazier than they were just two years ago or so and I think this is one of the reasons. Cities are limiting their police funding to such a degree that it's impossible to offer the services we used to. Which is hard, because we want to help everyone in the community.

Hi!

I graduated from design school in May and accepted an offer/signed for an entry level visual design role at a startup in SF (80k salary) They want me to relocate eventually but they’re flexible on when. Today I received an offer from a global PR agency based in NY (where I’d prefer to stay) (65k salary). Startup is unicorn fintech with a Series F funding round. This makes me nervous as we enter (or are in) a recession. Any feedback based on the pros and cons list below would be helpful.
