Most members of the Stanton City Council said Saturday that they are leaning--in some cases reluctantly--toward a plan to disband the city's Police Department and contract instead with the Sheriff's Department. In its proposal to the city, to be considered by the five-member council Monday night, the Sheriff's Department has said it could provide law enforcement services to the city of 29,000 for less than the $2.9 million annual cost of the Police Department.

A plan to disband Stanton's Police Department will be heard at Tuesday's meeting of the City Council. The Sheriff's Department has said it can provide law enforcement service to the city for between $2.2 million and $2.6 million annually--less than the $2.9 million Stanton now spends each year to maintain its own Police Department. Earlier this month, voters in the city turned down a property tax increase to help maintain the department.
