There is a lot of context that is missing from this story.
On one end, the board could be in the right, if you only have a township of a couple dozen, you don’t exactly need a police force of 10 people if you are only getting one or two calls, maybe, a day.
That being said, there is a concern here that this will effect response time for emergencies. Which is a valid concern, for emergency services. How much a concern for police is just where more context is needed
Of course this is all happening with the shadow of doubt to this story that makes it seem like there were prior agreements before one of the board members passed away.
Apparently the plan was to disband the local department and merge it into the department of a neighboring area, then split the cost in an effort to lower the overall operating costs of police services in the area.
The other city they were going to do this with declined the deal and so this town had to keep their local force in tact.
Upon hearing that the city they worked for was trying to eliminate their jobs, a bunch quit.
