The department is working to fill the three newly approved positions and two previously approved over-hire positions. Its current mental health program will end in June because alternative community resources are available, while all police staff are scheduled to receive a mandatory two-day mental health and wellness workshop later in the summer. A new five-member Special Assignment Unit will address quality-of-life issues, narcotics complaints, organized crime, and warrant extraditions.
