Police Department budget spreadsheet


2. Discussion / Issues / Changes
There were a limited number of issues in the police department budget this year. Most notable were the replacement of three vehicles. The police cruisers are on a replacement schedule that calls for 2 new purchases each year. The larger vans / 4-wheel drive vehicles are replaced every 5 years. So....this was a three-vehicle year.
The purchase of tasers was a big topic. The police provided a demonstration as well.
