Sioux Narrows Debating OPP Service

The Town of Sioux Narrows/Nestor Falls is still grappling with how it
plans to police the community in 2013.

The tiny community had initially told the OPP it wanted to cancel its contract
and just have a call for service agreement.

Mayor Bill Thompson says the OPP has since agreed to lower its cost
of servicing the municipality.

Thompson says they are now balking at signing the contract, following
comments by Ontario's Auditor General, who was critical of the increased cost
of OPP service, despite declining crime rates.
