Based on recent news reports it should be no surprise to anyone that the City of Phoenix is facing severe budget cuts.
Public Safety has traditionally been looked upon as a sacred cow whenever budget cuts have been mentioned in the past.
The current round of budget cuts for the city are of a severe enough nature ($250 Million) that Police and Fire have also been ordered to make significant reductions in their annual operating budgets.
The Phoenix Police Department alone is expected to make up to $30 million in cuts in order to bear it’s share of the burden.
