Police Meeting Planned


Fort Frances town council will hold a special meeting next week to discuss its policing concerns.

Mayor Roy Avis says the meeting will be with members of the Police Services Board and Ontario Provincial Police.

"What they'd like to do is have the detachment commander (Acting Inspector Steve Shouldice)come forward and the chair of the board," says Avis. "Any of the other board members will be there to answer questions for council if they have any questions."

Policing costs and the number of officers on patrol have been two of the issues in recent months.
