OPP to Meet with Town Council

Ontario Provincial Police plan to make a presentation to Fort Frances town councillors to help them understand policing costs and the level of service provided.

Speaking at this morning Police Service Board meeting, Acting Inspector Steve Shouldice has offered to bring in the person in charge of contracting policing to help answer the town's questions.

It came as the board reviewed a town resolution asking for clarification on the OPP's manpower requirements.

Shouldice says the 20 officers assigned to Fort Frances is based on calls for service.
