Area law enforcement agencies have seen a decrease in the number of officers on staff within the past year, which officials say is part of usual attrition and is not affecting response to public safety.
In Fayetteville, there are 434 budgeted sworn, full-time officer positions and 10 part-time positions, a Fayetteville Police Department spokesman said.
As of Monday, the department had 63 vacant full-time officer positions, said Sgt. Jeremy Glass, a spokesman for the department.
Since March 2020, 96 sworn officers have left the department, with 71 of those positions being filled.
“Please keep in mind that mid-sized and large-sized agencies staffing levels are down across the nation, and throughout the state, based off of our research,” Glass said.
