The main reason we used to need city/town/village police forces is from a day long past. In the days when travel was long and difficult, when cities were not very interconnected and were often isolated, local police was a must have. But now that is not the case for most of the country. Most small police forces are badly trained, indifferently staffed and way over priced. They are just plain not necessary. And speaking of over priced, they really are simply a huge waste of a towns money. Better that we should disband city police forces and enlarge the country sheriffs departments that every county already has. That would be a much more efficient usage of the money and a better way to assure consistency and training of our police forces. renewamerica/columns/huston/050630
