Some residents say they want the city to pay for this issue.
On Tuesday, community members brought up their concerns during the City Commission meeting.
“I was here six weeks ago, and I asked for my money back because we didn’t have enough police on the force from that levy that we paid,” Springfield resident Mike Lowe said.
Lowe asked the commissioners if they received a letter from an attorney regarding the amount of police in Springfield.
