Cottonwood Heights now eyeing own police force
13 comments | Read story
Did you go to the meeting last night? If you listened correctly you would have discovered that the studies and the budget would not cost the citizens more. It's all planned out and self providing is an excellent idea to ensure better service to those in out community.
And NO! The Sheriff does not have the right to move an employee such as Russo because he was under contract by both parties. I find this very unfair.
You have your facts a little skewed. The actual startup cost is $1.5 million, which would be absorbed into the budget over a period of years. The other $2 million owed to the sherriff's office for the SHERIFF'S startup costs from the beginning of the contract would have to be paid back this year anyway to avoid accruing interest, even if they decided not to form their own police department.
If you purport to have the FACTS, maybe you should make sure before you spread them around.
We have great police service now, why do we want to go and have just average. Top 100, let stay there.
this money wont be coming out of your pocket or taxes. the city has been saving up and can cover it.

Cottonwood Heights shares the pooled services of the Sheriff's Office in addition to their individually assigned deputies. They've got a great deal now and need to make a rational decision regarding their future law enforcement needs.
