For My Local Town it’s Almost Exactly 55% to 45% cop Funding to Everything Else. What’s Yours?

That does include parking enforcement. Which is done through that half of Townhall. Oh yeah, that’s the other part. They get literally half the real estate of town hall which is delightfully unsubtle.
But yeah, remember specifically that freaking the cops taking on all of these duties, or having these duties thrust upon them outside of their control whatever version of this that you buy into,. Having a whole bunch of unrelated social functions being addressed under the regions of the police forces is the criticism, it’s not some separate part. Why, does parking enforcement or local security or non union road crews get organized and paid from the police department instead of the local government?
Hard to get my exact town but it does not seem very high but the closest large city is 15% but its unclear if that includes lawsuits for police misconduct which are common and large.
