Schofield considering leaving Everest Metro Police Department

The Everest Metro Police Department has continually been referenced by merger proponents as a poster child for the Grand Chute/Appleton police merger. There have been many times we have heard that it's been a successful example and a good reason why to merge. They use an eight part cost-sharing formula, with percentages similar to what Appleton proposes. Interestingly, there is an article this week concerning Schofield's dissatisfaction the cost the town is having to pay out for the police service. Schofield, the smaller community to Weston, is prepared to leave and start their own department.

Haitus ended

I've taken a sabbatical last month on posting. Summer is my busiest time of the year construction-wise and I've been working some long hours. That doesn't leave much time for blogging. Now that things have quieted down a little, expect regular postings to resume.
