The agencies currently have in progress yet another study for "Re-Directed Deployment" of <br /> police services. Reading the committee findings suggests that the agencies are continuing to struggle <br /> with a set of issues that remain confounding. <br /> While general solutions such as a metropolitan police force have been aired, the Committee sees the <br /> awkward delivery of police services as one effect ofnon-contiguous annexation and we tend to think <br /> that problems in this service area might best be resolved by addressing the root cause. <br /> I <br /> i <br /> t <br /> 41 <br /> <br />
