The Peachtree City Council proposed a plan to add one extra police officer to the force by the end of the year at its July 20 meeting.

This police officer, to start Academy in September, will be in addition to the three new police officers already proposed by the 2007 budget. The money for the officer will come out of the police department’s 2006 budget surplus and will not affect next year’s budget.

Councilwoman Judi Rutherford proposed the plan to the Council, which approved it unanimously.
