Virginia town backs away from dissolving police department after citizen uproar
Fox News
Leaders in a Virginia town have voted to keep the town’s police force a week after they tried to eliminate it to save more than $3 million, according to reports.
The initial decision to dismantle the police department led to recall petitions to remove several council members and Vice Mayor Ben Nett from office. Council members who proposed eradicating the force said they wanted to do so to reduce water bills for the town’s 9,000 residents. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
But the council reversed course and voted to fund the police force at $3.2 million for 2026 at a jam-packed town council meeting Tuesday where outraged residents and other officials voiced their concerns about the proposal.
