A staffing study of CPD might make sense if it were a matter of finding some optimizations to chip away around the margins of a somewhat competent workforce deployment model.
Here, no study is actually required to begin changing things. The major problems are obvious.

here is, broadly, what a competent staffing survey would say.
1. there are too many cops doing jobs that are not policing
2. there are too many cops assigned to districts where crime is low
3. assigning cops to do traffic stops is an ineffective gun violence strategy
