4:12 The Burlington, Vermont City Council met this week and delayed action on one item regarding police department restructuring and voted down another related item. Last June the Burlington City Council passed a resolution requiring the city police department reduce staffing levels 30% through attrition and set a maximum staffing level of 74 uniformed officers. The acting police chief and the union representing police officers have been telling the community that when the staff reaches 76 sworn officers the department will be unable to cover the midnight shift. They warn that between 3 and 7:30 in the morning they will only be able to respond to the most violent calls.
