back to serve their required time in detach ments tliroughout the region but still need two more weeks at the college to graduate this week theyve been in a holding pattern sgt riches said dave barrow chairperson of the regions police services board said theres little for the force to do but wait for a resolution to what has become a long and bitter strike we are definitely caught in the mid dle of this mr barrow said it has posed a problem and we just have to wait it out and see whats happening the training stoppage comes at a time when york regional police are try ing to get new officers on the streets to help support a number of initiatives regional council approved a 10 million budget increase for the force this year part of it dedicated to staff expansions to help combat terrorism organized crime and marijuana growing operations the new crop of officers will be hired to replace cops assigned to these special units sgt riches said he said while no one is panicking about the situation yet police adminis tration is concerned about the possibili ty of future classes another one is scheduled to begin training at opc in early may being pushed back as the current class returns to complete train ing were hiring approximately 80 offi cers a year he said to have half of them in limbo thats affecting our hiring because we cant get cadets out on the streets where they belong mr kerr said disruptions at opc are inevitable because the strike has dragged on for so long the may class wul be deferred he said because the current trainees have 15 days of work at opc left theres a
