In the story was an interview with a city councilman. And he said(recalling from memory) that yes they are keeping only 2 officers. BUT the police force consisted of 4 full time employed LEO's and 9 volunteer reserve officers. The volunteer reserve officers received no pay, BUT they were provided insurance for law enforcement officers. And the cost of insurance for the volunteer reserve officers put financial hardships on the town.
Like I say, I'm recalling from memory. And while watching the story, I asked myself why did a small town like Combine need 13 police officers?? Before I saw that story, I had never even heard of the town of Combine in Kaufman county. But that's not saying much.
Texas has lots of towns I've never heard of.
