The Morrison Police Department is disbanding, a spokesperson confirmed with FOX31 on Wednesday.
The decision was made Monday during a town board meeting. The town said in a press release that the board of trustees was in the process of adopting its 2025 budget.
“Due to various financial concerns, the adopted budget results in a reduction in the Town’s Police Department. The Town anticipates that police services in the Town will be provided by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office beginning in January 2025,” the release stated. “The Town is working expeditiously to ensure a smooth transition.”
