 A Panama City commissioner said Saturday the city might be able to save money by abolishing the Panama City Police Department and contracting with the Bay County Sheriff 's Office for law-enforcement services.

..... The suggestion of outsourcing police duties came while the city is in its first negotiation with Teamsters Local 991, the union that now represents Panama City Police officers. The union has nothing to do with Kady's suggestion, he said.
