NY Times Local’s report on Maplewood’s cuts to police and fire department

"The cuts may mean that the community will lose its two school resource officers, one at the high school, one at the middle school, and other programs such as DARE," according to the story. Also noted: the township will maintain reciprocal mutual aid relationships with neighboring towns. Six jobs in total were slashed; the fire department and police department taking equal head count reductions. Via NY Times Local. 6:40 am
