flag Vancouver voters to decide on $6M annual police levy to hire 13 officers amid rising crime and staffing shortages.

flag Vancouver, Washington, voters will decide in a special election on a $0.15 per $1,000 property tax increase to fund a police services levy, aiming to hire 13 new officers amid rising call volumes and a low officer-to-resident ratio. flag The proposed $6 million annual levy, part of a broader public safety strategy, would address longer response times and over 3,000 uninvestigated cases yearly. flag The measure, known as Prop 5, is smaller than a previous failed effort and includes potential future funding from state grants and a sales tax. flag If approved, the tax would cost a $500,000 homeowner about $75 annually.
