How do local Sheriff/Police departments fund unforeseen high gas prices?

Considering there revenue comes from property taxes, I doubt the accounting folks knew that they be paying millions more a year in gas for patrol vehicles. I’m sure next domino is layoffs for police or they won’t respond as often to save on gas. Property taxes can’t just be raised on citizens so they are in limbo.

Our county is fortunate to have reserve funds and a great bond rating, so we’re not terribly concerned. But it’s a great question for a lot of others.

Don't have the officers drive them home will save some gas

Short term, they will cut back on patrols and response to 911 calls. shite will spiral out of control in certain cities. Big brother will step in and assert control after that. There is no other possibility.

New Policy is they have to call brandon,Brandon, give the race of the reported subject, estimated dollar amount of damage to see if to roll a car or not. If city is on fire and looting is happening, stay put and don't dip into the donut fund for gas

Part of bidens plan to go green. I can see his next press conference " yesterday there was a school shooting and law enforcement officers couldn't respond, they couldn't afford gas due to all the charging stations we are installing across the nation "

Some police departments are no longer responding to nonemergency calls.

Local governments have other revenue sources, sales tax being a major one. I would imagine they would have to cut back spending in other expense categories first.

Higher taxes just like they raised the gas charge on our electric Bill. We will pay more taxes .

Some departments have already exceeded their annual fuel budget due to doubling of costs and are restricting units to responding only to 911 calls. Others planned ahead (aka knew President Poopy Pants would screw it up worse).
