Cleveland recently announced pay increases and incentives aimed at increasing recruitment for the city's dwindling police force. But columnist Leslie Kouba writes that the city can only overcome its police staffing crisis if it works on building trust between police, city officials and the citizens they serve.

There’s been a lot of talk, a slew of commissions and an immense but ineffective effort to improve the Cleveland Division of Police. Even the Issue 24 citizen commission to hold officers accountable has been stuck for almost two years in a quagmire of caution and lack of trust.
Since Cleveland ranks second to last on new officers’ pay scale in Northeast Ohio police departments , more money seems to be a smart decision. What we don’t need is bickering or backstabbing or overworked and exhausted police officers, misjudging situations and making mistakes. When Mayor Bibb started the opening summit session Wednesday with a quote -- “change moves at the speed of trust,” I had to look it up. It sounded kinda familiar.Reverend Jennifer Bailey
