Community Policing

"Councillor Brown motivated the motion by pointing out that some community police stations are volunteer-driven and could serve as temporary housing for RCMP units if the West Shore detachment build is delayed. Councillor Lemon noted that the RCMP Superintendent preferred hiring more officers (bodies) over allocating funds to a facility. Council supported the motion as an exploratory measure to determine feasibility, benefits (like public perception of visibility), and costs."
