Minnesota City Police Force Resigns En Masse Due to Pay Worries

The entire police force of Goodhue, a small city in Minnesota, has resigned over low pay concerns. The city council accepted the resignations of the police chief, the only full-time officer, and five part-time officers. The Goodhue County Sheriff's Office will provide police coverage in the city, and the county sheriff will take over active criminal cases. The council intends to eventually re-form the department, but hiring new officers may be challenging due to the current shortage of police jobs in Minnesota.
