A police department's air support unit is reducing its hours due to staffing issues. The unit, known as Argus, provides air support for catching criminals and patrolling. Two of its pilots are on leave after being federally indicted for conspiracy and fraud related to their pilot certifications.

The indictment has left the unit with only three pilots, down from five. As a result, the unit is limiting its operations to four days a week, from a previous seven.

Further details on the indictment and the unit's operations are available from the source. The reduction in hours is a temporary measure to address the staffing shortage.
