Dallas-Fort Worth television station KTVT reports the three tactical officer stationed for eight-hour shifts each will no longer be on the street outside the former president's north Dallas home. The city would save about $300,000 a year with the change.
Police Chief David Kunkle tells The Dallas Morning News that the department's decision on how to deploy police for security issues doesn't depend on the budget.
A Secret Service statement says Dallas police will still be visible part of the former president's security.
