The police department recommends hiring 2 full-time Police Officers.

As the community has grown, the Police Department has not been able to add new police officers creating both service delivery issues as well as officer safety issues. This package adds two uniformed police officers to work in the patrol division, one in 2019 and one in 2020.   

The Police Department has 27 sworn positions. We are requesting to add 2 officers in biennium, which would give us 29 sworn positions.

Add 2 Police Officer positions (#28 & 29) to the existing patrol force.
