3/26/12 – Columbus Police are adding extra personnel to their ranks for special events such as the 4th of July Festivities and the Horse and Carriage / Civil War History Celebration. Chief Dan Meister told the City Council recently that applicants for the Auxiliary positions have already been interviewed. The volunteer “auxiliary” officers will be trained for duties such as crowd and traffic control. The Council approved the plan for Auxiliary officers last year and recruiting has resulted in the first group of candidates.
