This case describes the effort of two modest (though well heeled) Massachusetts towns to investigate a police merger during the fiscal recession of 2009.
The towns of Hamilton and Wenham, found north of Boston in the "North Shore" place, had, in the past, successfully consolidated school systems, libraries, recreation departments, and more. By some calculations, the towns stood to save a substantial amount of money by merging police forces. Finally, however, they decided against it. The case comprises partly contradictory data from several studies that estimate the fiscal impact of a police merger. Instance number 1988.0
