Nuissance Bears A Problem For Police

The President of the Thunder Bay Police Association is speaking out about having to deal with nuissance animals in the city, particularly bears. Greg Stephenson says the decision by the Ministry of Natural Resources to have city police deal with nuissance bears is putting them in a very difficult position. He feels they don't have the proper training or the right equipment to deal with them. Stephenson says they will be be bringing this issue up with MPP Bill Mauro and especially with Minister of Natural Resources Michael Gravelle.
