As was the case last year, the 2026 budget includes funding for 1,743 police officers, despite there being only 1,461 officers on staff. Some community members and city officials have questioned the need to continue funding for hundreds of IMPD positions that remain unfilled.

This is not a city that is serious about Vision Zero.
