A subcommittee of the Cambridge City Council recommended last night that the council appropriate the necessary funds to meet the Police Department's manpower and equipment requirements for next year.
The subcommittee made the recommendations after hearing testimony from spokesman for the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the Cambridge Police Association.
