Town hasn't bought law books for cops since 2006

When cities overspend and then have to cut back, law enforcement takes its hits too.  Unfortunately, this is usually bad news for justice and the people's rights.  According to the Denver Post, this small, financially strapped town that is also in the middle of a police scandal  "hasn't even bought new law books for its officers since 2006."  Let's hope the officers bought their own, but it shouldn't be their responsibility to do so.  Where do these town find these "leaders?"
