City Manager Mary Suhm told a City Council committee Monday that she thinks the city should hire an additional 120 officers this fiscal year.
That will save the city $1 million but will delay indefinitely a longtime council goal of hiring an additional 200 officers per year until the police force has a ratio of 3 officers per 1,000 residents. Last year, that ratio stood at 2.77 officers per 1,000 residents.
