Premier Committed To Helping Municipalities With Policing Costs

Ontario's Premier says municipal concerns about policing costs at the top of her agenda.

Speaking with CFOB-News, Kathleen Wynne says a committee, involving organizations representing municipalities and police services boards, and the OPP are looking at how to contain costs.


The town of Fort Frances is passing a resolution around calling on the province for more financial support.

It cites financial, economic and a pending wage increase for OPP officers as factors playing into the municipalities struggles to cope.
