Impact analysis
Starting a brand-new police department could require massive upfront investments and completely shake up local tax dollars.
Local politicians and city officials looking for more direct control over neighborhood safety could win big here.
Right now, taxpayers might get stuck footing the bill if the new department ends up costing way more than the current setup.
