That's the reasoning, though it really doesn't work that way.

If you have a hiring freeze and you have turn over (inevitable) you can't hire replacements, but the hours have to be filled so your experienced officers have to pull overtime, at overtime rates, to fill the hours. Not to mention the experienced officers make %50+ more than a new officer. So really you are spending twice as much to say "we're not hiring new officers to save money."

Adams county and greeley pd are also on hiring freezes, I'm sure there are more.
