Section 83. Legislative intent  


Latest version.
  • In  the event that municipalities propose a
      merger of all or part of existing police  agencies  within  counties  in
      establishing  a  countywide,  a part-county or combinations of municipal
      police agencies, orderly transitional procedures will be required.    In
      such  consolidations  of  the  police  functions  within  a county it is
      necessary to provide a uniform and equitable method for transferring the
      members  of  existing  police  departments  into  the  combined   agency
      structure.    Such  methods  should  protect  the rights held by present
      employees in their existing organization.
