point as well. so you want to be aware of that on the southbound side of i- 270. at this point it s been cleared up, i m happy to say but just be aware of it if you re a commuter through 270 early, early in the morning. if you re planning to head over to the beltway, college park into silver spring, bethesda, we re in great shape. no issues on the great seneca half, route 29 from burtonsville. let s start off with a live look over on 270 here at father hurley boulevard. again, looking great right now. the lanes are open down to the point where the lanes divide. we ll go to virginia on the northbound side of i-95. volumes are building. i m happy to say that it looks normal because it s been so light early in the morning because of all those accidents we had. but right now the hanes are open coming up from lanes are open coming up from dale city to lorton. a quick look at 395 at the 14th street bridge. nice and quiet across the potomac river. thanks, monika. a cracked rai
i m afraid. i don t like what i see on the streets. these recruits have gone through six months of rig plus training. i ve just been excited about trying to do this. now i m focused on trying to accomplish the next step, which is fco phase. it s field training. the graduation of these 43 recruits ais a small step to try to feel vacancies in the department since cuts forced massive layoffs two years ago. we ve taken officers from one job putting them on to patrols but that means we ve depleted our capacity for property crimes. jim says more money and more academies are needed and says these officers will not keep up with the rapidly shrinking department. we ve been averaging 70 resignations for two years. it s going to be a rough time. officers are ready to go on the job. another class is scheduled to begin april 15th. there are 50 recruits in that class. another class opens in september. 400 are under going background checks for that academy. thank you. tomorrow
