EXCLUSIVE: The Austin Police Department is lowering minimum staffing requirements for its emergency communications division as it deals with "unprecedented vacancy rates," according to an internal message reviewed by Fox News Digital.

An Austin police commander told staff on Monday that the majority of telecommunications workers have been logging 20 to 36 hours of overtime per week, which is "unhealthy and unsafe" in such a high-stakes environment.

"Emergency Communications will assign mandatory overtime only when triggered by 'emergency' staffing levels, which is six (6) 911 Operators and ten (10) dispatchers per shift," the commander wrote.

Since the vax mandates killed off a bunch of nurses, like my GF, or got them to quit because they knew, nurse McMurphy has been on mandatory 80 hour weeks (12 hours six days, 8 hours on day 7). The only days off she had when she was here with me getting fed Ivermectin horsey paste back in February for covi, I think.

I'm pretty sure she's on shot #5 now. Her days are numbered.
