Vermont

I'm not up in Burlington, but I've followed what they've done this past year. They have really stretched the department. We've housed all of the folks who were not housed this past year - and the officers (esp. those up in Burlington) have covered those hotels in addition to everything else.

It's been a very difficult year. And crime in the downtown area is up. We've had shifts in the early morning hours that were completely open (there weren't enough officers).

I also know throughout the state, we've had trouble hiring.
