We lived 2 miles away off of Royal and originally paid $300 per year for police patrol. The last two years we were there, we paid $600 per year. Btw, there were Christmas contributions as well as funds offered when some of the policemen lived through their own tornado devastation! It’s not easy, but the small communities that take care of each other will survive and thrive. As a woman and nearing retirement, I know that I’m a target as well as many others. Let’s have a safe and happy new year everyone!! </span><br clear="none"><div>
