The Arkansas City Police Department has two new officers and is now at full-staff, but getting enough cops on the street is still an issue. Chief Dan Ward said he is still critically understaffed for full-fledged patrol officers. “Out of the four shifts that we run, two are at the minimum of three officers,” he said. Ward said he was given permission to fill the open slots after presenting the situation to the city manager and city commission in June.
