Policing costs in Kenora to Rise in 2011

Its going to cost a bit more to police the City of Kenora next year.

The 2011 policing estimates were presented to the Police Services Board this week.

Inspector Dave Lucas says there's about a two percent increase next year.

The budget estimate for policing next year is 6.68 million dollars, which is largely due to a increase in employee salaries.

The estimate does not include another potential increase for officers based on a re-negotiated settlement for 2011.
