Shafter Council Approves Police Reorganization Plan
At a May 17 special meeting Police Chief Richard Hoffer proposed reorganization adding two community service officer posts and eliminating the animal control officer. Three officers become Agents, with Lt and Sgt classifications kept, while several public works and transit appointments were approved. The plan faced opposition from Johnny Thomas who voted against the agents and CSOs. Final action May 24 kept Lt and Sgt roles but approved the agent and CSO concept for a one year study and funded additional staff for Public Works and maintenance. A contract with Lew Carroll for retirement duties was approved.
