The board of directors has decided to retain a consultant who will look at the long term sustainability of the force.
Board Chair Eli Mandamin says one of the consultants responsibilities will be assistance in the search for new police chief.
Earlier this year the police service laid off a number of officers, cut benefits, and issued 45 day lay-off notices due to a lack of funding.
And Mandamin says the board will seek additional funding from the Provincial and Federal governments next month.
The board will meet again in January and set out a 6 month mandate towards a more sustainable business model.
