February 23, 2021 - The Timpson City Council was holding a closed executive session meeting Tuesday, February 23, to discuss the fate of the city’s police department.
Council members were meeting with an attorney representing the city and the items listed on the agenda included:
The operation, budget, and potential closure of the City of Timpson Police Department. As well as possible action concerning a reduction in force of the remaining staff at the City of Timpson Police Department including the Chief of Police.
At 4pm the meeting went right into executive session, and as of 6:15pm returned to open session.
Upon returning to open session, no action was taken and mayor Debra Smith stated the item would be considered at the next council meeting.
It’s yet to be publicly determined if the city of Timpson will cease to have a police department.
