GCPD eyeing two more officers amid growth needs
Garden City Police Captain Randy Ralston says the GCPD, with 59 officers, seeks to raise to 61 and add two officers this budget year. An investigator hire by July 1 is possible, but may be blocked if the two officer positions receive approval. The sheriff’s office plans no new deputies now, but would like two jail officers and one investigator as jail population rises.
