Town of Liberty issued the following announcement on Feb. 13.
The Liberty Town Council, after having held a series of citizen input sessions, negotiating in earnest with the Sheriff’s Office and conducting research has abandoned pursuing a contract for police services with the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office.
We would like to thank the citizens, business owners, neighbors and stakeholders for their input and concern regarding the services provided by the Liberty Police Department. The outpouring of support for our PD has been appreciated, informative and ultimately decisive as to whether the Town should contract with the Sheriff..
The Liberty Town Council has heard the concerned citizens and agrees it is in the best interest of the Town to maintain an in-house police department. Beginning Monday February 17, 2020 at the regularly scheduled 5:30PM Council Work Session, the Council will reexamine any and all options for a home for the police.
