Kenora Police Services

It took almost two and a half years, but the final costs surrounding the disbandment of the Kenora Police Service have been calculated.

The final payment from the disbandment of the Kenora Police was made last month.

It ended up costing the city about 2.5 million dollars once all the dust settled.

That included severance packages for former employees of the KPS as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

The final payment of 55 thousand dollars was made last month, ending a long drawn out process.

The previous edition of council decided to disband the municipal police service and go with the OPP back in July of 2009.
