Last fiscal year, the San Diego Police Department lost 241 officers, a 51% increase from the year prior. Another 138 officers have already left this year.
"This is the worst period I have ever seen in my four decades of being in the police profession," he said.
"You need to reach out to the people who left the profession and ask them why they left. And ask them what conditions would change to entice them to come back," said Cappitelli., who remains the current president of the San Diego Police Officer's Association about the large number of officers fleeing the force.
The city confirmed to NBC 7 that as of April 2022, only 68 officers stated the mandate is the reason why they left, but Wilson feels the real number is much higher.
