Valin Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Fox Business Soon-to-be released survey of 258 police departments shows almost half have had budgets cut Joshua Nelson Aug. 5 2020 A trucking company owner told Fox News on Wednesday that in order to keep drivers safe, he will not direct services to cities that are pushing to defund the police. “Our first priority is to support our drivers and their safety when they are on the road,” co-owner of JKC Trucking Mike Kucharski told “Fox & Friends First.” Kucharski said that defunding the police is a bad idea because drivers carry valuable cargo on the road for weeks. “Everybody wants to steal this,” Kucharski said. A soon-to-be-released survey of 258 police departments nationwide shows almost half have had their budgets cut amid calls for police to be defunded despite increases in gun violence and otherwise violent crime in some parts of the country, according to USA Today. The outlet was first to report that the Police Executive Research Forum publication, which is expected to be released in the coming days, shows cuts in the police budgets are largely being made to training and equipment.
