Cyrus Police Department (merged / disbanded)
This changed. Cyrus (pop. ~275) does not appear to have an independent police department any longer. Pope County's own official website lists direct links to city government sites for Glenwood, Long Beach, Lowry, and Starbuck under its Sheriff Resources page — but not Cyrus, which appears to have no independent city web presence beyond a city-hall phone line. The phone number long associated with 'Cyrus Police Department' in a Minnesota Attorney General's Office statewide police-phone directory, (320) 239-2311, is confirmed via Starbuck's own official government site (starbuckmn.gov) to be Starbuck Police Department's current non-emergency line (Chief Mitch Johnsrud). A third-party law-enforcement directory (usacops.com) likewise lists only 'Pope Co SO,' 'Glenwood PD,' and 'Starbuck PD' for Pope County, with no separate Cyrus entry. Taken together this strongly suggests Cyrus's town police department has been discontinued/absorbed, with the area now covered by Starbuck PD and/or Pope County Sheriff's contract patrol — though I could not find an explicit official statement (from Cyrus, Starbuck, or the County) describing the exact arrangement, so treat the 'now covered by Starbuck PD' conclusion as strong circumstantial evidence rather than a confirmed fact.
