Knowing that law enforcement has been a hot-button issue across the nation for some time now, it wasnât that shocking to hear people opposing Troy looking to add six community police officers. Last week, members of the Troy City Council Finance Committee voted 5-2 on an ordinance to hire six community police officers. Officials said as part of the proposal two officers would be dedicated to each zone. On paper, the goal is to have the community officers engaged with neighborhoods, building trust and rapport, and solve potential problems before they escalate. - Advertisement - Like I said, not that surprisingly the public comment session of that meeting appeared to be mixed if not leaning against the proposal among residents who spoke. Some of the speakers welcomed the idea of more officers involved in the community, while others expressed the need to spend taxpayer funds on other resources and programs for communities.
