Municipalities are now learning how they will be charged for policing.
Beginning in 2015, cities and towns who contract police services out to the OPP will be charged $260 per household plus additional costs based on the number and types of calls for police assistance.
Rainy River district detachment commander, Inspector Steve Shouldice says municipalities, including Fort Frances, now paying nearly $700 per household should see savings.
Shouldice says the formula will also be based on 96 different types of calls, instead of the 400 now used.
