an earlier i.kaa award for 911,857 which enabled buffalo to retain 85 police officers scheduled to be laid off commissioner blair emphasized that the de partment had reduced its mb by more than 300 in recent year and ha reached the point where further cut would have a debilitating effect on its ability to contend with crime mr nowak pointed out that the portion of the city most affected by the reductions in patrol offi cers are the areas in which two-thirds of the crime locally is committed he added the high crime rate in these areas in addition to the human suffering involved has inhibited
