The new police chief in Falmouth is working on hiring additional officers.
The Enterprise reports the Falmouth Police Department is critically short-staffed.
The reasons include retirements, transfers and officer injuries.
As part of the hiring effort, chief Jeffrey Lourie is planning to implement a college recruitment program for local students.
Lourie was hired in June to replace chief Edward Dunne after his retirement.
