An internal survey found widespread dissatisfaction among Burlington Police officers. Officers feel overwhelmed -- still -- after the city council voted to reduce the force in 2020 soon after a Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd. Burlington detectives Eric Dalla Mura and Padric Hartnett discuss the rank and file concerns, including public support for more police oversight, and the challenges they see finding a replacement for outgoing Chief Jon Murad, who requested city leaders apologize for cutting the force and raise the cap on the number of officers.
