Police Exodus: Minnesota City Left Defenseless as Officers Resign in Droves

The small town of Goodhue, Minnesota, is set to be without a police force after the chief and several officers resigned. The resignations were approved by the Goodhue City Council during a meeting initially intended to discuss pay increases. The chief cited low pay and lack of incentives as reasons for the exodus. The Goodhue County Sheriff's Office will take over calls and investigations, but the lack of a local police force has left residents feeling unnerved. The mayor expressed confidence that they will rebuild the police department in the future.
