What are we gonna do? Call the city and complain?
They prolly can't even hire anyone right now, they cut the entire Human resources staff a few weeks ago.

Actually that's why we vote people into office. We can contact our Supervisor, Council Member, Mayor, Gov, etc.
They are hiring btw.

I agree, just try getting through to any of them. If they hire through Richmond City, it may say hiring, but there literally is no human resources department. They may have left one or two people if I recall.
The real problem is money and job stress. Obviously anyone who wanted that job figured out how bad it sucked and wasn't worth it, otherwise it would be in demand. I would totally consider doing it if it wasn't so tied to police, and it paid well. It's a great way to serve the community, but the community has to take care of its people. Living wages keep people where they are qualified to be, in jobs they are good at and may minimally enjoy or find fulfillment in.
The best thing to petition for, if you get an audience, is higher wages, and not by a little bit.

Go to your county board meeting or the council meeting if you're in the city, it is not that hard to be frank getting in front of them.
County and City Officials are not impenetrable.
