APD is not immune to this reality, and significant financial support and innovative approaches need to be considered to survive and overcome it. • CSCRM is requesting/recommending 56 hours of Academy/Cadet level training for Sexual Assault (40 hr. classroom, 16 hr. simulations). This request/recommendation is unlikely to be met without additional investment and innovation: • Cadet training classes need to be extended to incorporate Kroll recommendations and CSCRM requests. • Financial incentives and wages need to be drastically increased to recruit and retain new Cadets. New approaches such as housing stipends need to be considered given the current housing market in Austin. Investments in the Academy do not make sense if we cannot recruit and keep quality Cadets. • An increase in Civilian roles need to be considered whenever and wherever possible keeping Sworn personnel fulfilling their vital positions.
