Liberty Township police levy could delay emergency response
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones warns a failed May 3 3 mill police levy would force 15 deputies back to downtown Hamilton increasing response times up to 15 minutes for Liberty Township residents. The substation opened in 1995 and handles about 12 000 calls annually with two deputies on duty 24 7. If defeated only one deputy would likely serve the growing township of 32073 residents.
