Rural towns face policing cost burden and state coverage
The article examines how Pennsylvania rural towns bear policing costs amid reliance on state troopers. It highlights Farrell’s return to its own department with 13 officers at a cost of about $1 million yearly, and Shamokin Dam's $260,000 annual force. Discussion covers state gas taxes funding, local willingness, and calls to bill or shift costs to municipalities. It notes Monroe Township residents lack local police, while broader political effort to reform funding stalls in Harrisburg.
