Cedar Rapids seeks 20 more officers in budget push
Cedar Rapids Police Chief Bud Byrne plans to ask for 20 additional officers in the 1995 budget negotiations to establish permanent foot patrols. Safety Commissioner J D Smith notes the proposal faces funding hurdles of about $800 000 annually and cites Cedar Rapids ranking 58th in officers per 1 000 residents. Neighborhood groups have urged more staff, with 66 signatures from Mound View and a letter from Wellington Heights supporting the request. Attendance at the council night meeting was about 35 amid bad weather.
