Community policing in the city is undergoing changes. Police Chief Bob Herman presented an update on his three year business plan to the Police Services Board. Chief Herman says his forces' priorities have changed dramatically and the old neighbourhood model isn't effective anymore and is being modified. He says it's been replaced by the community response team, and that the beat officer program may be expanded because the public response to it has been tremendous. Chief Herman says the force is always looking at ways to make the best use of it's police officers and resources.
