Why would a town of 1600 people need 7 full time police and 5 volunteer. Towns that size in my state, MN, may have two officers, other small towns rely on the Sheriffs department. I'd say the police did it to them selves by some how convincing the town they needed that many officers.

I live in a town that size and we have our own police force of I think 3 officers and a fully equipped volunteer fire department. It's bankrupting the town funds.

I back the badge but a 7 person force, unless it is a really nefarious town is absurd.

As someone across the border from you in SD, my thoughts exactly.

Definitely a 1FT, 1PT (maybe) or Sheriff only kinda town

I don't know and I don't have enough statistic to give a credible answer.
