Zeeland thinking about dissolving police department

From our partners at WOOD TV:

The future of the Zeeland Police Department has come under debate.

Longtime Chief William Olney is retiring on July 14 and the city council is using that as an opportunity to reevaluate the department as a whole.

The council is expected to create a “Police Services Review Committee” at its 7 p.m. Monday meeting. Though city leaders may choose to not make any changes, they could also get rid of the entire department.  Dissolving the department would not be easy. Because the city’s charter provides for a police department, it would have to be amended.
