OPP Funding

Ontario's provincial police force is getting $781,587 under the Civil Remedies Act.

The act allows the Attorney General's office to seize property used to commit crimes or bought with the proceeds of crime.

The bulk of the money, $246 thousand, will go to the organized crime unit to purchase four portable infrared cameras.

Another $262 thousand will be spent over two years to train civilian members of the provincial asset forfeiture unit.

A further $125 thousand will be spent to purchase laptops to help deliver crime prevention programs in each of the 90 detachments.
