Uncertainty Surrounds Stoneville Police Department's Future

### Uncertainty Surrounds Stoneville Police Department's Future
The Stoneville Police Department faces an uncertain future as town officials contemplate dismantling the department and transitioning law enforcement duties to the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office. If implemented, this change could result in the departure of approximately six officers, who would be replaced by county deputies.
An anonymous Stoneville police officer expressed that the department was taken by surprise by this potential decision. Concerns began to surface following a Facebook post indicating that the town was considering disbanding its police force.
As discussions continue, the community awaits further clarity on the future of local law enforcement in Stoneville.
