OPP Service Hours August

The commander of the Kenora Detachment of the OPP says their first month of policing the City of Kenora has gone well.

Inspector Dave Lucas made his first report to the Kenora Police Services Board on Friday.

Lucas says officers compiled over seven thousand hours of duty, plus another 324 hours in overtime.

The OPP had over 15 hundred calls for service last month.

Lucas says August tends to be one of the busier months of the year due to all the special events in the city, including Harborfest and KBI.
