Fort Frances town councillors supported a resolution last night calling on the province for more money to help with local policing costs.
The cost of contracting police services to the OPP has risen 47 per cent over the past decade and the town's concerned with the impact a recent 5 per cent wage increase given to OPP officers across the province will have on its budget.
The town is expected to receive about $940-thousand from the province for policing in 2011.
