Description
Despite advertising itself as "one of the highest paid" police departments in San Diego County, Chula Vista is struggling to staff its police force.
According to law enforcement numbers from the FBI as well as numbers from police departments in San Diego County, Chula Vista has had the lowest number of officers per capita since 2018.
Those numbers show that locally, over the past six years, San Diego County's second-largest city has had 8-to-10 officers for every 10,000 residents.
