I just think that the past four
years have been particularly
challenging for American policing.
And our survey shows we’re
finally starting to turn a corner, Chuck Wexler, Executive director of PERF, via NBC.
NBC reports that declining numbers left
many police departments with a shortage of
officers, which resulted in slower response times.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF, warns that many police departments are still struggling to recruit and retain officers.
According to Wexler, law enforcement , "isn't out of the woods yet.".
At least a dozen smaller police departments in
the nation have been forced to disband, leaving those
municipalities reliant upon state or county police forces.
NBC reports that in addition to increased pay and
benefits, many police departments have chosen to
change application requirements to increase hiring

The plans can now only be renewed for up to
four months instead of three years that were permitted under former President Donald Trump. .
Additionally, short-term plan providers must
clearly explain benefit limitations to consumers. .
The president really believes
the American people do not want
to be taken for suckers and junk insurance takes them for suckers, Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser, via statement.
Short-term insurance is intended to temporarily serve as a safety net for periods of transition,
such as switching jobs or prior to receiving Medicare.
However, critics call these plans
"junk insurance" because they're often misleading as far as what they actually cover.
ABC News reports that the plans aren't required to cover those with preexisting conditions or pay for prescription drugs.
In 2018, Trump expanded short-term plans and referred to them as "much less expensive health care at a much lower price.".
Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser,
said that Trump undermined the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) when he allowed insurance companies to
sell inadequate short-term plans.
