Police Chief Garcia told the Burbank City Council on Jan. 13 that the department plans to expand its ranks this year, saying it is "moving to hire five or six new officers in February" and that he hopes to hire four more in May. The chief thanked the Police and Fire Commission for their work on the hiring process.
