The new policing contract with the town of Fort Frances has forced the OPP to re-think its community services strategies.Police, in the past, have been involved or helped start programs.
Detachment Commander Inspector John Kendrick says that will change with changing staff levels.
"What's that basically had us do is review our current programs that we have in place to make sure that we're getting basically the most bang for the buck for the community," says Kendrick, "and ensuring that our Community Services is hitting the mark."
Kendrick says the primary focus will be partnerships that have an element of policing or public safety.
