The City of Hampton Police Department had three of their four officers resign as a result of the city council's decision to cut back the department due lack of funding. The chief of police was among those who resigned.
Though there are less city police patrolling the city does not mean there is less law enforcement in the area. The State Police along with Calhoun County Sheriff Deputies are always available to meet any emergency.
Law enforcement in the city is not exclusive to City Police. Be vigilant in obeying the laws and watching for safety concerns. Calling 911 in an emergency will still send a response as needed.
