In the 14 months since a national movement of police reform took hold in Austin, more officers have left APD than ever before. Many were like Carlisle: veterans eligible for retirement. Others were only on the force a few years and decided to abandon the profession altogether.

According to Austin police statistics obtained by the KVUE Defenders, the number of officers leaving the department reached 79 in mid-January and increased to 130 by the end of May. Of that 130, 64% were patrol officers, considered the backbone of the department.
