Virginia town fires its entire police force.

[RockyTop85]

Town of Pound votes to fire every police officer, including chief

No idea why this happened, but it’s kind of hilarious and fascinating.

 

[McDad]

Maybe I'll take McMom to Pound Town to see what's up.

 

[hog88]

It’s a tiny little blip on the map why did they even have a police dept?

Probably so they could write tickets to supplement city income.

She will suddenly get a headache and roll over to go to sleep, probably.

In VA and especially that part of the state I have no doubt you are correct.

May have started out as wanting to give some elected official’s dopey kid a job with a steady paycheck. Not a whole lot of those in places like Wise County.

It’s also not the county seat in a county that’s geographically adverse to centralized law enforcement.

Are you saying you struggle to find Pound Town on a map? Apparently @McDad can show you.

Last time I was with Hog's wife, we found Pound Town easily and often. It was as if no matter how hard we tried we just couldn't leave Pound Town for good.

Sounds like they were up to some Shenanigans.
Take a township the size of Townsend. They have a chief and two full, and one part time officer. So, to get rid of the “entire” department wouldnt mean a whole lot.

I think this has something to do with it but not sure.

I’d guess this paragraph from the article points to root cause of the issue.

“Asked why town officials did not notify surrounding localities of the issue, Mullins said Pound council members had been more focused on other matters besides public works, including lettering on police cars, who had keys to town hall, and the location of the mayor’s office.”

Well Pound, VA is basically eastern KY. Not the sharpest knives over there.

Do you recommend introducing your spouse to KY before taking her to Pound Town?

 

[RDU VOL#14]

In my experience it depends on which section of Town you’re going through . But that’s just me.

Pound Town through the KY backdoor isn't an easy trip.

I feel like I have waited my whole VN life for this thread.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Town of pound is about to get pummeled.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Seriously

That little hole in the wall sounds like a great place to settle down and pound. lol!

 

[InVOLuntary]

Been through Pound many times on my way to the great metropolis of Clintwood, my wife's hometown.
