New Carlisle residents approve $450,000 a year police levy renewal

New Carlisle doesn’t have its own police force. Instead, it contracts with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office to have four deputies strictly patrol New Carlisle. As part of the contract, New Carlisle is responsible for paying the deputy’s salaries, benefits and other expenses.

The levy is a half-percent income tax that was first approved in 2015. The new levy is a carbon copy of the old levy, Lowery said. Lowrey said the income tax allowed the city to contract four deputies instead of two.
