State police urged as answer to highway patrol concerns
A survey of lawmakers and business leaders from urban and rural areas shows broad support for a statewide police system. Proposals include creating a new department or expanding the highway patrol to function as a state police unit to improve rural protection and crime control. Proponents cite potential reduced insurance costs and increased revenue from fines as offsetting the costs. Kansas is noted as a case where a state patrol could deter crime and curb farm thefts.
