Cumru Township is budgeting for a reduced police force for the first time in at least a decade.
The draft 2013 budget that the township commissioners are scheduled to adopt Tuesday plans for 23 officers, officials said. That’s how many officers are now on the force but two positions are vacant.
“We’ve had 25 officers for the last 11 years,” police Chief Jed G. Habecker said.
Habecker had planned to fill those two vacancies but commissioners voted 3-2 to table the hirings.
