The Hollister Police Officers Association claims all civilian staff face layoffs, which they state will disrupt essential police services. They argue that police officers cannot maintain operations without civilian support. However, the City of Hollister disputes this, calling the claim of eliminating all civilian positions false. The city states that workforce reductions affect multiple departments and that leadership and animal control staff are not impacted. The city attributes these actions to ongoing financial difficulties.
