The Goodhue City Council discussed options for police coverage after the entire department's resignation.
A small city in southeastern Minnesota could be left without a police department after the entire force recently resigned, officials said.
"Since the resignations have been handed in by our police department, it has been recommended by our city attorney that at this point we need to pursue our other options," Anderson Buck said at the top of the meeting."So, at this point, there's no reason to really talk about pay increases, since we no longer have a police force."
Smith stressed the urgency of the matter and said smaller police departments he has looked into pay at least $30 an hour. At the council meeting, Anderson Buck said she has been in contact with the Goodhue County Sheriff's Office and has a meeting scheduled Wednesday to discuss police coverage for the city in the interim."I want to reiterate that we will have police coverage in the city of Goodhue. That is not an issue," Anderson Buck said at the council meeting, adding that she has been assured the transition will be"very smooth."“We’re not the first, and we won’t be the last,” she said.
