Not much wiggle room as Port Hope police told to review draft budget for savings, say Chief
The Port Hope Police Services Board and the Chief were asked to sharpen their pencils after the $8.4 million draft police budget was presented to council recently.
In this interview, Port Hope Police Chief Tim Farquharson digs into the details of the budget. He explains why 80 percent of the budget is allocated to salaries and benefits, with another major chunk set aside for mandated provincial requirements. He says the alternative is to find innovative ways to provide the level of service needed.
Have a listen and see if you have any idea where the police can cut costs.
