Farrell Fights to Fund Own Police After Regional Dissolution
Farrell City Manager Michael Ceci supports regionalization but seeks budget solutions as Farrell left the Southwest Mercer County Regional Police Department in 2015. The city now faces a 2019 police budget of 1.23 million after costs of over 300 thousand to the old regional force, amid Act 47 scrutiny and financial distress rules. Ceci questions past spending and pushes for independent control and savings.
