(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council last week approved a request from Police Chief Jamie Baker to hire an additional Police Officer for the City.
Baker discussed the reasons he requested the additional officer feeling there is an opportunity to strengthen the department, noting how difficult it has been to hire certified officers.
This will bring the Falls City Police Department to 9 officers plus the Chief.
Baker is hopeful hiring an additional officer will allow more time for investigative work on cases. Baker said the investigator is doing a good job keeping up, but said it is difficulty to keep up with covering calls and shifts while doing investigative work.
The vote request was approved unanimously.
