The cities all have their own police forces. City residents have been supporting Ypsi Twp. for years and years, paying double for their own police and for Ypsi Twp. Now that it is no longer free the Twp. needs to form their own police force (like Pittsfield and Northfield) or pay the county for Sheriffs although the cities and Twps. with their own police are still subsidizing Ypsi. Twp. to some extent.

The next millage will fail as well. There’s no way the township should take money out of the general fund to pay for sheriff patrols at the current grossly exaggerated costs. The comment about losing “proactive policing” is absurd. We get sheriffs to respond after the crimes have been committed only if there isn’t an emergency within the cities. More than likely, we drive ourselves to the substation to get reports generated days later.
