Impact analysis
A new police department would likely mean new payroll, equipment, and vehicle costs—so expect either a higher tax bill or less money for other city services.
People who want faster local police response and more say over neighborhood safety could come out ahead.
Taxpayers who don’t want to pay more—or who are fine with county sheriff coverage—could end up footing the bill.
