The RPD was almost disbanded in early 2007 when, at the behest of their mayor, the [[San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department]] was asked to provide a contract for police services, thinking that the officers(who were already suffering from low morale and pay) would immediately jump at the chance to be sheriff's deputies(complete with better training and pay). The mayor didn't expect any negative reaction at all from the residents, as well as Sheriff-Coroner Gary Penrod. After a few months of back-and-forth negotiations between the RPD officers' union and the mayor, the RPD was saved from abolishment. |
