Elyria Police Training Plan Set for 1966 Success
Elyria will require 190 hours of state mandated training for new recruits before they serve as fully authorized officers, with Patrolman Thomas Graham certified to conduct sessions. Police Chief Maurice Flood notes staffing gaps, aims to send veterans to schools if funds permit, and cites future needs including a jail, police station, juvenile division space, and public safety education. He observes 46 current officers, far below the 80 needed per a 600 residents per officer standard, and notes the city already has a licensed policewoman vacancy unfilled due to qualified applicant shortages. Flood credits a 15 percent pay raise in 1965 for morale and suggests broader civil service access for county residents to boost hires, while a license bureau could relieve police workloads.
