BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Quincy Police Department is hiring more officers to better patrol the city and keep it safe. I spoke to one officer who commutes from Tallahassee to serve at QPD and he says….
“I always wanted to do something to make a difference.”
Meet officer Adam Hartin…
He’s been serving at QPD for 3 years and is one of the 11 officers on duty currently.
“I always felt like I was somebody that could serve the community and be a person that helps people.”
Helping people… and keeping the community safe. That is top priority for QPD which is why their goal is to have a total of 20 officers by 2025.
“20 officers would give us 5 officers per shift and a sergeant and a lieutenant….”
Which will make them fully staffed.
Interim Chief Carlos Hill tells me some of his officer commute from Tallahassee to serve at QPD.
