Larchmont and Mamaroneck Merger?

To assume a merger of services would eliminate the taxpayer cost of the service is the real question. Would merging a police or fire department affect my home's value? Tell a homebuyer we used to have our own services but not any more would not be a selling point. Like a larger department would provide the personal service we've grown accustomed to! Not a new story, just a different day

They've studied this for decades; specualte is all one can do about compromising services. Police and Fire headquarters a stone's throw away from my house...or in another geographic town. If sacrificing response time is not considered a compromise, I guess your right. And those like myself,  who see this as a compromise,  have looked at the studies for years and continue to make  the right decision. Garbage collection is one thing, personal safety another. Thanks, I'll keep my services.

Pardon my correcting that my argument is not valid. Let me clarify what you question about the officers sitting around to be called: taking my children to the Chatsworth Avenue School September to June  the officers here are around the school protecting children and drivers alike at drop-off, pick-up, and throughout the day. When not these times their presence is in all other areas of the village. Their response is prompt and curteous. I assure you, when they arrested the bank robber last summer they weren't sitting in headquarters waiting for that hostage taking louse to strike.
