40 Police Employees Losing Jobs in Indiana

State budget cuts are costing 40 police inspectors in Indiana their jobs at the end of this month. Half of the 83 motor vehicle inspectors, who work for the police department, will be out of work next year. The inspectors are responsible for the safety of trucks and school buses, along with other motor vehicles and there is some concern that the department, already stretched thin, will no longer be able to effectively do its job. Kenny Cragen, president of the Indiana Motor Truck Association, is urging the Governor to look at other places to make cuts.
