Grew up in a mid size city that got rid of police department. Sherif calls would take 45 minutes to respond. Place was a hell hole by the time we moved out.

Didn’t even move far. Just to city that had police. Was drastically better.
- jtr1 4y agoWhich city did you move from?
- smm11 4y agoSuspecting Oklahoma.
- seizethegdgap 4y agoDefinitely doesn't sound completely made up. Nope.
- dahdum 4y agoJust sounds like a rural town to me. Whole police departments have been disbanded due to funding, corruption, and public outcry. Services are (often poorly) handled by county or neighboring towns temporarily or even permanently. Here’s a recent one in Alabama, same Sheriff situation as OP. https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7ggmn/vincent-alabama-police-department-disbanded-racist-texts https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7ggmn/vincent-alabama-polic... > The city will now rely on a neighboring sheriff’s office in Shelby County to answer emergency calls.
