Bend PD Staffing

BEND, OR -- An independent report on Bend Police staffing reveals the department needs around 50 more officers over the next 10 years to keep up with growth. But City Manager Eric King says there isn't money in the budget for that rate of staffing increase. He says it's more realistic to consider bringing on six more officers this December, with three or four more each year after that. The department also continues to evaluate which calls require law enforcement and what could be assigned to another division.
