Residents urge council not to disband Sedan police department
Summary
During a March 6 special meeting, multiple residents and council members told the council they do not support disbanding the Sedan Police Department as officials weigh rehiring or contracting options after two resignations.
Mayor Kathy Miller opened the special meeting to public comment on March 6, 2026, and attendees used the opportunity to press the council against disbanding the city’s police department. The minutes state that "citizens and the council spoke and expressed their thoughts and opinions on not getting rid of the police department."
Council member Crystal Wade emphasized the importance of hearing the community as the council considers next steps. The record shows no vote to disband the department was taken; instead, residents and council members discussed alternative paths, including contracting with the county sheriff or pursuing rehiring. The meeting adjourned at 6:10 PM with no final decision recorded.
