Beefed-up police staff eyed to curb rising Odessa crime
Odessa officials weigh a nearly 30 percent police force increase led by Police Chief Alan Stewart. The plan would raise staff from 184 to about 250, adding 66 positions across divisions including nine motorcycle officers, three accident investigators, 15 patrol officers, eight detective investigators and a juvenile officer. The expansion would cost over $1 million in new salaries and benefits, with further funding for equipment and vehicles. City leaders say the move targets high crime and workload, amid rising murder and rape totals.
