BESSEMER CITY, N.C. —

Bessemer City leaders decided not to make a decision yet on its own police department.

For the past 14 years, Gaston County police have patrolled Bessemer City, but now county leaders want to raise the cost of protection from $42,000 to $1.1 million by 2018.

Now they are considering starting their own force.

On Monday night, city leaders got some new numbers and costs, but they want to hold off before making a decision.
