Payson considers town police department and county dispatch debate
The Payson council weighs creating a town police department with its own court and magistrate. Overlap costs rise about 10000 for transition, with 45000 extra annually versus county services, while jail housing shifts to the county and tax funds are cut from other departments to cover expenses. Sheriff Lyman Peace warns of dispatch and jail shifts if the town goes independent.
