280.010  Legislative findings; declaration of purpose.

      1.  The Legislature finds:

      (a) That there is substantial duplication of functions, human resources and expenses between the city and county law enforcement agencies in this state.

      (b) That merger of city and county law enforcement agencies would increase the efficiency of such agencies by increasing communication facilities, lowering purchasing costs and coordinating law enforcement efforts throughout metropolitan areas.

      2.  It is the purpose of this chapter to provide the means whereby the respective law enforcement agencies of the cities and counties in this state may merge into county-wide metropolitan police departments.
