Letter from Insp. Todd Preston, Officer in Charge, West Shore RCMP
Formal letter proposing the implementation of bylaws to allow the detachment to charge fees for disclosure services.
Officer In Charge West Shore RCMP Detachment 698 Atkins Avenue Victoria, BC V9B 3A4
Mayor Screech & Council Town of View Royal 45 View Royal Avenue Victoria, BC V9B 1A6
Date May 15, 2019
Mayor and Council,
Please find attached a brief proposal for the implementation of Bylaws that would allow the West Shore Detachment to charge fees for the release of information through our Disclosure services.
West Shore is among the few Detachments that do not charge for our Disclosure services and we request to bring our practices in line with our fellow police agencies. It is the West Shore Detachment’s belief that the potential revenue generated from the establishment of a fee schedule would directly benefit the City.
Included in the attachment are examples of established fee schedules for other policing agencies as set out in their respective Municipal Bylaws. A draft proposed fee schedule for West Shore Detachment has been included.
We respectively request your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Insp Todd Preston Officer in Charge West Shore RCMP Detachment
