The Morrison Police Department, a longstanding institution within the small Colorado town, is set to be disbanded, town officials confirmed this week (December 5, 2024). The decision, finalized during a town board meeting on Monday, arises from financial constraints identified during the planning of the town's 2025 budget.
According to the town's statement, the adopted budget necessitates a shift in policing responsibilities to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office starting January 1, 2025. "The Town is working expeditiously to ensure a smooth transition," the release noted, signaling efforts to maintain uninterrupted law enforcement services.
The cost of maintaining the Morrison Police Department has grown steadily in recent years. In 2023, the department required $1.47 million to operate, with an estimated $1.73 million needed in 2024. However, the town's budget for 2025 could only allocate $1.57 million to the department. This figure represented approximately 41% of the town's overall projected expenditures, far exceeding costs for other essential services, including administration, street repairs, and capital projects. The proposed $1.67 million for 2025 police operations was deemed unsustainable.
The department's revenue generation, primarily through traffic control fees and court fines, failed to offset these costs. In 2023, it collected $568,000, with an estimated $510,000 for 2024, both falling short of the anticipated $930,000. This growing financial gap left the town no choice but to dissolve the department and transfer its law enforcement duties.
Starting in January 2025, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will take over law enforcement for the town of Morrison. According to Public Information Officer Mark Techmeyer, the transition builds on an existing relationship, as the Sheriff’s Office has provided overnight law enforcement services to the town for the past four years. The transition will require amending the current contract to outline the scope of services and the financial implications.
"This area is near Jefferson County’s south precinct, so logistically, we’re well-positioned to provide comprehensive law enforcement services," Techmeyer said. Details regarding specific services and budgetary adjustments are still being negotiated.
The closure of the Morrison Police Department will undoubtedly mark a significant change for the community. The department’s longstanding presence has been integral to local policing, and its dissolution reflects the financial pressures faced by small towns across the country. While the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is well-equipped to manage law enforcement in the area, residents may experience shifts in response times and the scope of localized policing initiatives.
Town officials and the Sheriff’s Office aim to finalize plans promptly to ensure a seamless transition, prioritizing public safety and minimizing disruption during the handover.
As Morrison enters a new chapter in its law enforcement history, the move underscores the challenges small municipalities face in balancing limited budgets with the need for effective public safety measures.
