Marfa, Texas won't keep its police chief and two officers when the police department shuts down October 1.
"It's all about consolidation. What we're trying to do is run our community as efficiently as possible," said Marfa mayor, Dan Dunlap.
According to the mayor, the city will save $90,000 a year by hiring the Presidio County Sheriff's Office to replace the local police department. The sheriff's office already patrols the rest of the rugged border city.
Some residents are having doubts. They are not sure what is going to happen, or if they will be safe. They may want some of the many local artists to create a fake police station along the lines of the fake Prada store shown above.
