JANESVILLE
The Janesville Police Department has been operating with nine fewer officers than usual, but help is on the way.
Chief Dave Moore swore in eight new officers at a ceremony outside the police department Monday.
All eight will attend the four-month Blackhawk Technical College Police Academy in August before beginning field training. Those sworn in Monday wonât be patrolling on their own until about May 2022.
Moore said retirements are the main reason the number of police officers has dropped since last winter.
New officers werenât ready to step in right away because Blackhawk Technical College has reduced the number of times it conducts its police academies from three to two times a year, Moore said.
