City Police Chief Frank Pane said the money will be used to pay for overtime for the department's full-time narcotics officer. Pane requested the funding because he had to assign the another narcotics officer to other duties because of a shortage of officers due to those retiring, transferring or out on disability. "Our local police officers are on the front lines in drug enforcement," said state Sen. Michael F. Nozzolio, R-53 of Fayette, who chairs the Senate's Crime Victims, Crime and Correction committee. "This funding will help enhance the department's efforts in enforcing our drug laws and keeping our residents, families and communities safe." - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
