Suspending local law enforcement in Girardville

GIRARDVILLE, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Last month, people living in a Schuylkill County borough put pen to paper and voted on the fate of their police force.

On Wednesday, the results of that vote were made public, will they keep their police department or dissolve it?

Just a month ago, Girardville residents weighed the pros and cons of keeping their local police station and submitted their formal votes.

After tallying the community's decision, the choice was made at a borough meeting Wednesday evening to suspend the police until the end of the year.
