Omaha Delays Recruit Class

May 16, 2012 |

An anticipated boost of manpower for the Omaha Police Department likely won't come until next year, after city officials pushed training for a new recruit class to August.

Officials had hoped to begin training this month to increase sworn personnel to 799 by the end of the year. There currently are 771 officers.

The new officers likely won't be on the streets until May 2013.
