The ax has fallen, again, in the city of Warren. 

Eight police officers have gotten layoff notices as cuts continue to the city's safety services. 

So far, 24 police officers have been laid off since January, as the city continues to battle a $1.6 million budget deficit.  City officials are still meeting with the police union hoping to reach a concession agreement.

This latest round of cuts doesn't go into effect until July, 19.

Also getting a pink slip, Frank Tempesta, the city's Operation Director.  He is now asking for a review from the Civil Service Commission.
