Trying to get people to join APD remains a huge challenge, according to police Lt. Jay Swann. He took over the APD Recruiting Unit in the summer.

"We had to stop recruiting for a while as we took everything offline to re-gear our process to come more in line with what the community expects," Swann said.

Recruiting stopped after the Austin City Council eliminated three planned cadet classes in 2020 – part of the overhaul Lt. Swann mentioned – along with $150 million budget cut aimed at reimagining policing in Austin.
