Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
A small town in Georgia has rehired its local police department, following the mayor’s decision to fire the entire force. The mayor had announced the firing of all 10 police employees earlier this week, citing complaints from his wife.
According to reports, the police department was dissolved after the mayor made the announcement. However, just days later, the town council voted to reinstate the police force.
The reason for the reinstatement is unclear, but it appears that the town council has decided to move forward with the original plan to have a local police department.
The Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office has taken over the duties of the dissolved police department. The sheriff’s office will provide law enforcement services to the community until further notice.
The mayor’s decision to fire the police department was met with criticism from some residents, who expressed concerns about public safety. However, no official statement has been released by the town council regarding their reasons for reinstating the police force.
The town of Cohutta is located in Whitfield County, Georgia. The local government has not provided any further information on the situation.
