Hopefully all this "stimulizing" will turn the economy around and by then things will be getting back to normal. The 13 officers that the money is funding will bring the WPD back to full strength for the first time since summer 2008. All positions are calculated in the budget - even ones that are currently vacant - until this year, when any vacant, non-essential positions in the city were eliminated in budget cuts. In other words, we taxpayers had always been paying for them.
