After weeks of training, 19 new police officers for the City of Mesa have hit the streets.
They are the first recruits in nearly four years. The training program was a victim of budget cuts in 2008.
Mesa’s police academy hopes to welcome another class of recruits for the 20-week basic training(and several weeks of additional field training) program in November.
