How Fall River compares
Peer cities do not publish a police figure on its own, so this compares public safety as a whole — the category Police sits inside. Figures are general-fund only, so enterprise funds like water and sewer are excluded on every city.
- Taunton $787
- Brockton $698
- New Bedford $570
- Fall River $503
