WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — Mayor LaRhonda Patrick says that the city of Warner Robins is starting a part-time officer program.
In a news release, she said staffing shortages are hurting their police department.
So, they're looking for a broader field of candidates, including retired officers who can work part-time.
She says part-timers must be post certified and will go through 18 weeks' orientation.
They will be patrolling alongside full-time officers.
Patrick's news release says they'll release more details on the program in the weeks to come.
She says they hope to schedule a public-safety day where officers can apply in person.
