FAIRBORN -- City Council unanimously approved its 2013 budget, which includes filling vacant positions.
The Fairborn Police Department will hire two of its three open positions in January 2013. Police Chief Terry Barlow said the additional officers will be assigned to the patrol bureau.
"Adding two officers allows for the flexibility to move staffing around, addressing a certain need or issues at a particular time of the day or locations,â Barlow said. âThe department will also be re-instituting some daily activities that were previously discontinued due to reduced staffing levels (i.e. vacation house checks and funeral escorts)."
