Frederick's Public Safety Budget Hides a Fire Protection Bargain
Frederick's 1966 67 budget shows a $485 504 public safety tab including subsidized fire protection. Four volunteer fire companies receive $136 742, while the police budget totals $246 520 for salaries plus $10 000 for the chief and $18 463 for guards. Meter revenue appears to fund the general fund with $55 009 estimated from meters but only $13 817 in expenses, and $16 000 in police fines covers parking. The arrangement keeps a paid department unnecessary, with full time truck and driver salaries totaling $76 760 and the city boasting low fire insurance rates due to its high rated protection.
