SPRINGFIELD, IL – ( Cymphanie Sherman, WCIS-TV. Please click on the link above for the full story and video. Here is an excerpt below.)
The budget impasse in Illinois caused a hiring freeze throughout many state agencies. The Illinois State Police said they weren’t able to train or hire new officers for four years.
However, now that there is a state budget, ISP is working on getting their staffing numbers back up.
“We’re stretched very thin, so we’re doing ten different jobs as one person, so it’s very important we get troops on the streets because we’re very low staffed,” explained Austin Muniz, an officer with ISP.
