Police lead the province in alcohol related arrests
Thunder Bay Police are leading the province in a very dubious category. According to the 2010 annual report officers made more alcohol related arrests per capita than anywhere else in Ontario. Chief JP Levesque says it's a social problem and is keeping officers from focusing on crime prevention and enforcement. He says adding more detox beds would go a long way to relieve some of the pressure on police.
