The Charleston Police Department is hiring new faces in an
effort to fight a nationwide shortage in law enforcement officers.
The department held a recruitment open house Saturday morning at
its training center downtown.
Training Coordinator Paul Roach says there's a big need for more
officers.
Charleston Police say the deadline to apply is Oct. 1. They say
anyone between the ages of 18-40 can apply.
West Virginia State Police say they also need more manpower.
They're especially looking for women and minorities.
