Police Chief Says Union Has Been Informed Of Changes

While the police union accuses Police Chief Bill Reid of being silent on the effect the budget cut on its members, he says the union was notified via letter of some of the changes.

Reid says while community policing levels will remain the same, Reid says 3 traffic officers had to be moved to the patrol unit.

He adds if there are no major investigations this year, the department should be able to come in on budget.  However, he says  the current funding levels are unsustainable.
