From Minnesota to Maine, Ohio to Texas, small towns unable to fill jobs are eliminating their police departments and turning over police work to their county sheriff, a neighboring town or state police.

The solution to bad cops getting hired elsewhere is truly simple, and as American as apple pie.
Make them carry insurance.
Bad cops with strikes on their record have to pay higher and higher and eventually cost prohibitively higher rates for them to hold the title/badge/weapons.
Also, profit. Off of your tax dollars. As American as apple pie.
The solution is to put them in jail for abusing their power and barring them from having future police jobs.
And to require the police to live in the areas that they police again. They shouldn’t be able to ruin a community just to clock out and go home 3 towns over.
I know of apartments owned by groups of cops, how will that be enforced?
I know it is an edge case but what would you do about areas that have police but effectively no residents? Teterboro NJ, City of Industry California, etc.
precisely. They don’t even need to pay for their premiums, as long as it’s individual insurance. most cops today would be uninsurable, though.
