OPP release summer crime stats

The OPP says its overtime costs tend to be higher in the summer.

The Kenora Detachment recently released its monthly statistics for August and September.

There were about 125 more calls for service in August compared to last month.

That also resulted in a big increase in overtime.

There was a total of 423 hours of O.T. in August, compared to 248 in September.

Events like Harborfest have a lot to do with the increase in the number of calls for service and overtime.
