They can also cut the department's workforce by 1 position, that of Police Chief, and replace it with the position of Public Safety Commissioner reporting directly to the Mayor. That would require the Chief to be laid off and replaced by someone hired by the Mayor and also approved by the Metro council under KRS. There can be a fine line between a termination and a layoff if they really want.
