Town’s Entire Police Department Quits in One Day
23rd April 2016
A town in the US state of Colorado has been left without any police after the entire department quit in one day.
The resignation of police marshal Tim Bradley prompted the town’s three other volunteer officers to do the same – leaving nearby El Paso County and Teller County sheriff’s offices to look after the town of Green Mountain Falls.
Residents were apparently offered no explanation for the sudden departure of their police force, although Fox News reported an anonymous source as saying the police were unhappy with the newly elected mayor Jane Newberry. Their resignations happened just a day before she took office.
I don’t want to seem insensitive, but this strikes me as very American.
