Fully-Staffed Police Department
When the third police recruit class under Dean’s administration graduates in October, the Metro Police Department will be fully staffed with 1,300 sworn officers for the first time in five years. Watch Dean deliver the oath of office at the graduation of Session 56 from the Police Training Academy.
Additional Ambulances for the Fire Department
Dean proposed funding in the 2008-2009 operating budget for three additional ambulances in the Metro Fire Department and the staff to support them. Read Dean’s budget presentation speech.
