Riley County Police Get Budget Boost

Riley County Police just got a $30.87 million budget boost for 2027 — a 1.76% jump — to keep things running, stay safe, and maintain public trust. With inflation driving up inmate care costs and a 1.5% pay raise for staff, they’re focused on keeping staffing steady despite having fewer officers per capita than state and national averages. Yet, crime rates here remain lower than the state average for 22 years — proof that community support and smart policing really work.
