The village of Winfield has a small local police department that employs 19 people.  However, because of the costs the town has considered outsourcing police services.  Tuesday voters in Winfield were asked to approve a property tax increase to pay for the local police department.  More than a majority of voters said no to the tax hike; however, almost 88% of those same voters stated they wanted to keep the local police department.
