Chief says paperwork delays fighting crime
Carbondale Police seek to fix slow investigations by adding staff and using about 90 000 dollars in federal funds. Chief George Kennedy details clerical overload, plans for civilian dispatchers, and reassigning detectives to full time investigative and juvenile duties. Regular patrol shortages constrain investigative capacity and budget limits risk service quality. Kennedy notes four detectives will shift to investigation. one becomes juvenile officer. budget oversight improves with a full time employee. Federal aid also funds Fire Department hires to relieve inspectors and boost fire prevention. Fry warns jobs may last only 15 months under the anti recession program.
