Payson Considers Forming Its Own Police Department
Payson Town Council will discuss creating a municipal police force at 7 tonight at Town Hall as the 1977-78 budget begins. Officials say the move could cost about 120000 annually, with current county policing costs around 2912 per month and cars now used by the county to be returned if a town department is formed.
