OPP policing under budget

The City of Kenora seems to be getting value for its policing dollar.

A report was released by the Kenora Police Services Board yesterday which showed the first full year of policing the city by the OPP came in less than expected.

Inspector Dave Lucas from the Kenora Detachment says overall, they were 554 thousand dollars under budget.

Lucas says the figures are based on the one year period from July 2009, when they took over policing the city from the Kenora Police Service, to July of 2010.
