Valley, the bastion of Wasatch Front Mormonism, confronts the influx of people who have a very different perspective on not just religion, but it's role in public life. One can only hope that it will be a more mature response than the adolescent bickering seen in Salt Lake County as those residents have had to accommodate the "Outsiders."
Because EM contracts with them and pays for every single officer which is more than 15-20 when you count all the sergeants, detectives, and deputies. EM is then billed for any additional expenses that aren't included in the contract. So is it really a burden if they are paying for all the services? The paper should contact the UCSO and see how much money EM pays to police their city vs what most other cities pay. EM is probably in the top 3.
EM isn't ready for its own police force yet. It is still fixing other problems. You don't want a start up police force going wrong, so they leave it to the "professionals" for now.
(insert latest bash on EM/Mayor/Police joke here)
