Will the Police Department Reach Full Strength in 2012?

“ I’m excited.”

On Lubbock's First News on KFYO, councilman Paul Beane said he’s excited because  the police department’s recruiting efforts are paying off.

“As a matter of fact, I think we’ll be at full strength before too much longer," Beane said.  "Now full strength is

going to be 460 officers."

Beane thinks that goal will be reached within a year.
