The City of Benton Harbor's additions of part-time police and fire personnel have allowed the City to enhance public safety protection at significantly lower costs. Cost savings resulted from reduced number of full-time officers, while offering certified officers the opportunity to gain valuable experience and build credentials.
UPDATE FY2014: The City continues to benefit from overall cost savings in its public safety department through the use of part-time police, fire and reserve officers.
BARRIERS: None.
