Give due process back to the officers, create a schedule with rotating weekends, limit mandatory OT, increase pay (see Seattle police pay for example) and watch recruitment go up.
Would changing scheduling to allow for rotating weekends (the lack of which definitely seems to be a problem for officers that are always on weekend duty) have to bargained with DCPU or could MPD management do that on their own?

I’m not exactly sure. It seems as though the DCPU is virtually powerless at this point.
