Not to worry.
They are being replaced with illegal immigrant gestapo.

I’d still be looking for work elsewhere. The moment an employers mentions any intention of replacing you, that is the time to leave. You will always have a target on your back the moment it gets mentioned and it is only a matter of time.

So, if you catch a thief, set ‘em on fire and call the fire department?

1600 people of which 16% are black per wikipedia. Taking chances?
Going national with the idea?

THREE city councilors made this decision for the entire town, without asking for input? Ten to one the councilors are “woke” and the officers refused to go along with it. Our former police chief was politically moderate, and the city counciul replaced him with a woke DEI hire.

We see this garbage too often on the local, state, and national levels. Officials take an action (and maybe with good reason).
But then they arrogantly refuse to offer even a bare-bones explanation to their citizens. Just shut up and get your tax payments in on time, peasants.

Call the Sheriff's department or the Stateies.
Six police officers in a town of 1600?
If they are full time that is a pretty high number. 2.4 to 1000 is average. That would be 3.7 to 1000.
And police officers are expensive.
Could be any number of reasons but it is odd.

Yes, for this quiet community, sounds excessive.

Well, that’s two officers per 8 hour shift 24 hours a day. Not out of line, I don’t think.

The other side of it is if the department is being... let's call it audited for lack of a better word, they can't say much of anything.
That they suspended them with pay says there is some degree of uncertainty as to what is going on.
It might be that one officer was doing something wrong. Or it may be that the entire department was either up to shenanigans or turning a blind eye.
Or perhaps the council is up to shenanigans.
Either way there is not enough information in the article to make any sort of judgment.

Sheriff's department should easily be able to handle this. Demographics aren't too bad for that town.

If there is not that much crime, yeah it kind of is.
Lots of places of that size have a dispatcher who is on call 24/7 and will rouse the troops if needed but for the most part they are not.
Regular stuff is handled during normal business hours.

Now all the folks in town can go riot and burn down Main Street. Let the mayor stop the riots. Just claim you are BLM.

Six officers is barely full-time coverage when you factor in training days, vacations, and court appearances.
Usual formula is a minimum of eight for full time...and that assumes a “working Chief” and “working detective” both of whom answer 911 calls.
