Original Note:
Austin PD is not underfunded, nor has it been defunded. As of July 2023 the proposed budget for next year is $476.5 million, nearly $32 mil. up from this year's budget. This money will go towards creating new APD positions, but will not put more officers on the streets. https://cbsaustin.com/renderer/cbsaustin/amp/news/local/proposed-city-of-austin-budget-gives-apd-its-largest-allotment-ever
