Ward 1 Councilman Ernest G. St Peter, chair of the Police Survey Subcommittee, said the Pittsfield Police Department is on the brink of an emergency and backed a $1,000 across the board raise to lift morale and standards. He noted nine vacancies and no waiting list, and that few applicants persist through police civil service prep and exams. Captain Coakley estimates only five of 20 to 23 signups become patrolmen.
