What Price Local Law Enforcement?
The Times wrote that San Clemente can get more service on the street by better paid officers while saving $2 million (annually) by disbanding the police and using sheriff’s deputies.

If all city police departments are inherently inefficient compared to the Sheriff’s Department, perhaps they should be abolished too.
