35 Million Dollar Police Budget Passed

Thunder Bay's Police Service Budget is coming in at over 35 million dollars. The Police Services Board approved the 3.8 percent increase in the 2013 budget at this morning's meeting. Chief JP Levesque calls it a lean budget. Levesque adds the million dollar increase is due to wages and benefits and notes he can't cut any more costs from the financial document. City Council will look at the police budget in the New Year.
