Regional Vice-Prescient Sharon DeSousa says the union is still willing to work with the force.
DeSousa says closing the force is not the right way to move forward and that more work can be done to find a solution.
She says in reaction to the announcement the union will be meeting with the officers on how they want to proceed.
She adds that it's disappointing that the communities the force serves will have to suffer due to a lack of federal funding.The force is preparing to shut down on August 19th.
