Jenkintown Borough is looking to save money by trimming -- or eliminating -- the local police force and residents aren't happy about it.

Officials stress no decision has been made

The Jenkintown Police Benevolent Association is opposing the half-square-mile borough’s consideration of dissolving the police department to cut costs.

Jenkintown spends more than half its annual budget on policing. Officials believe contracting out the services with neighbors Abington and Cheltenham makes sense.
