Central Kansas Town Of Nickerson To Drop Police
- Fri 10:56 AM 10/12/2012
The central Kansas town of Nickerson is dropping its police force because of budget concerns.
The central Kansas town of Nickerson is dropping its police force because of budget concerns. The city council made the decision in a 4-3 vote Thursday night.
The last police shift in the town of about 1,000 residents will end at midnight Saturday. The Reno County Sheriff's Office will be the primary law enforcement agency in Nickerson after Tuesday, when the department officially will be eliminated.
The county already responds to about half the city's calls, and questions had been raised about the actual effect of the city's mostly part-time police staff.
Mayor Jim Gladden says he would be open to reinstating the department once the city could make budget adjustments. He wants to re-evaluate the situation in six months to a year.

Best thing they can do. Now they can arm themselves and do their own law and order.

Well your not so smart victory. A few days ago you took the 'a' out of my name and made comments. Then once again you made false accusations about me and now you are posing as me. This just verifies what I been saying all along that you keep inventing id's on here. You definately are a sick and disturbed person.

So victory got caught screwing with someone's name on here. I am not surprised. I noticed that the name was not the same for Iamgonna and wondered what was going on. Plus the verbage was not the same. When you have forums like this it attracts the lonely and mentally ill people to post to feel good about themselves. The sad part is the rest of us have to suffer because of them acting like pre-schoolers. I myself have pointed out that this person has multiple id's now he has proven it. I hope ksal catches on to victory2012 now that he has shown them the real danger he presents on here.

Gee whiz I am gone for a couple of days and all heck breaks out. Victory2012 I was correct evidently in my complain against you as Iamgonna has found out. Are you going to try it with my name next?? Hope you do because I will not call KSAL but I will go down there and demand you be taken off of here. When people like you start pulling this type of thing KSAL has got to change their procedures for letting people register and abuse the system. There definately is something wrong when someone does this for attention.

Comments expressed here are prime examples why Kansas Chatter isn't around anymore.

well when you get people who just live on here to cause trouble that's what happens. There are things that can be done and put into place to make sure only real people are signing up and one person does not assume the names of many.
