>>Over 20 Civilian Positions A Part of Proposed Harrisburg Budget
(Harrisburg, PA) -- Harrisburg's proposed budget for next year is offering 21 new civilian positions for the police's Community Services Division. City council members saw the proposed 2021 budget for the first time at a legislative meeting yesterday. The City Council is creating a new Community Services Division in their police department and at least one-million-dollars of the new spending for next year will pay for it. Mayor Eric Papenfuse says the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the budget but they plan to move forward in a positive direction. The final vote for the budget will take place on December 10th.
