From Minnesota to Maine, Ohio to Texas, small towns unable to fill jobs are eliminating their police departments and turning over police work to their county sheriff, a neighboring town or state police\u2026<\/p>\n<p>At least 521 U.S. towns and cities with populations of 1,000 to 200,000 disbanded policing between 1972 and 2017, according to a peer-reviewed 2022 paper by Rice University Professor of Economics Richard T. Boylan.<\/p>\n<p>In the past two years, at least 12 small towns have dissolved their departments\u2026<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the problem is the exodus from law enforcement. Officer resignations were up 47% last year compared to 2019 \u2014 the year before the pandemic and Floyd\u2019s killing \u2014 and retirements are up 19%.<\/p>\n<p>Do the people at NBC News think no one understands how this happened?<\/p>\n<p>Shocked.
