BIR-26-026

Could you please provide clarification on areas of overlap between a potential police services review (council initiated) and the already approved long term policing strategy. Specifically, the budget briefing on the policing services review indicates it will assess the number of policing resources (RCMP & Bylaw) for optimal policing delivery and financial considerations. Are there overlaps here (ie will the long term policing strategy also do this?) Furthermore, if we proceed with the policing services review and the long term policing strategies put on hold as the business case suggests, are there any cost savings or increased capacity to complete other long term plans? Lastly, just confirming there is no provincial money for this review? I believe they have funded or partially funded other similar reviews in the past.
