Survey: Half of Michigan local law enforcement agencies say they are underfunded, while most local governments are satisfied with their appropriations

Among Michigan law enforcement agency leaders, concerns about funding levels are widespread, with almost half of chiefs of police and county sheriffs saying the local governments they serve do not provide sufficient money for their agencies.

However, just 1 in 5 local leaders providing the money share that view.
