Policing Costs Expected To Rise

Fort Frances could be paying a lot more for policing in 2014.

Estimates from the OPP peg the cost at more than $2.8 million.

That's over $200-thousand more than what was estimated for this year and $300-thousand more than what the town actually paid in 2012.

An 8.5 per cent raise for officers that kicks in next year is identified as the chief reason for the increase.
