City To Hire Four Police Officers, A Cadet

Mayor Christenson made the announcement during a meeting with constituents at the Oak Grove Community Center Monday night. Do you think the extra boots on the ground will help, or is it not enough?

Malden Mayor Gary Christenson told a crowd of about 45 residents at the Oak Grove Community Center that his administration will be moving forward to soon hire four new full-time police officers, as well as a new cadet.

The revelation came during one of the mayor's ward-wide crime meetings, in which he and representatives of the police department answer resident questions and concerns about crime.

Christenson nor his representatives were immediately available for comment Monday night, though Malden Patch will have more information as it becomes available Tuesday morning.
