BROOKLET — City Council decided not to dissolve the town's police department after all, voting Thursday night to keep the 106-year-old agency as it is. Facing a crowd of more than 100 citizens, council members heard a presentation by the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office regarding a proposal for it to handle law enforcement needs in Brooklet — a proposal solicited by council members who have stated they were looking into the change as a cost-saving measure. Citizens attending the meeting expressed an overwhelming objection to dissolving the police department, airing concerns over reduced law enforcement coverage and longer response times.
