Seligman Police Chief Terry Burgess announced that the city has selected a full-time officer for the department.
Officer Aaron Kaiser is full-time for the department at 45 hours a week. Kaiser began as a reserve for Seligman in December. A part-time officer will be chosen at a later date to take on the additional 30 hours each week.
Burgess said that the city has seven day and night coverage each week on a flex schedule so that officers can cover all times during peak times of crime.
The Seligman City Council opted to hire on a full-time officer and one part-time officer instead of the three part-time officer, because the department was having difficulty finding officers willing to work only part-time. By transitioning to the current system, Burgess hopes to have reliable officers with all hours needed filled.
