GGG Weighs In on Police Officer Shortage:  During the past several years the City has failed to carry a full roster of sworn police personnel, despite the budget being set aside for a full contingent; there is a troubling deficiency of approximately 20 officers. If this issue is not aggressively addressed, it could get worse with impending retirements and other officers applying to neighboring departments. Public safety is the City’s most important service to its citizens and police protection in Coral Gables should be the #1 priority. Here is our President’s letter to the City Manager.
