He said he is requesting funding from borough council to add to the 67 full-time personnel. Williams would like to fill three vacancies two officers and a corporal position and add five more officers who could work in investigation, mounted patrol and foot patrol. An increase in manpower would enable the department to put officers on the street, Williams said. Currently in the downtown and neighboring fraternity area there are two to four officers in uniform and plainclothes who are on foot patrol between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. “That’s (the time period) when we receive the bulk of our calls for serv ice,” Williams said. Additional officers would enable the police department to increase the time foot patrols spent patrolling the downtown area during the daytime. These officers would be able to can vas areas where merchants have had problems with skateboarders and bi cyclists on the sidewalks. A year ago the Downtown Business Association asked the borough to do something about the problem of skateboarders and bicyclists on the sidewalks, said DBA Chairwoman Marnie Derabasse. by Dave Howland “Merchants were getting com plaints from customers who were almost knocked down,” said Dera basse. In response, the borough put up signs around the business district New police beat starts maybe more next year By DAVE HOWLAND Collegian Staff Writer State College may have a full-time foot patrol police service if there is room in next year’s budget to hire more officers. In response to citizen requests, at least one foot patrol has been added during the day from 11:30 to 1:30, State College Bureau of Police Serv ices Police Chief Elwood G. Williams said. stating the ordinance against cycling and skateboarding. However, some merchants have not noticed a change. Bob Shirk, of the State College Floral Shoppe, 127 W. Beaver Ave., said because there are no signs on Beaver Avenue customers are being hit by bikers outside his shop. “It’s a problem. Bikers go down the wrong way down a one-way street,” Shirk said. The DBA wrote a second letter to the borough three months ago addres sing the lack of signs and asking the borough to step up enforcement, De rabasse said. Williams said adding a foot patrol officer during the lunch hour shift will help. “That’s a start, the DBA would certainly like to have more,” said Williams. “That’s the best we can do.” He added the next step would be to have an officer patrol from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Williams said the allotment of funds to hire new officers will be discussed by staff and council mem bers in work session and meetings. He added that the council will be able to publicly address the budget propo sals by mid-December. Williams said if officers can be added to the force, it may be as long as 10 months the time needed to train someone to be a police officer before they can work for the borough. A trainee must complete a Civil Service Commission recruitment plan which can last three to five months. Afterwards students are sent to a police academy or municipal training program for three months. From there new officers are put through a field officer program where they are evaluated and closely observed for three months. He added that once officers are through the field officer program they can work on patrol alone.
