OK, Bunker Hill, Indiana isn't the biggest burg in the world. Its police department consisted of one Town Marshall and four reserve deputies. They all quit on Monday.
The officers cited mismanagement of the department and political influence from the town council. Allegedly members of the council asked officers to run background checks and supply confidential information on other council members. There had been nine reserve deputies which the council reduced to four.
Among other things the council cut the Marshall, who is civil service, back to a part-time employee to avoid paying for his medical insurance after he developed cancer.
Council President Brock Speer accepted the resignations, announcing "...it is what it is."

If they were using NCIC to run checks then the Feds will probably get involved.
