Common Council Supports Increasing Regional Policing

Some of the outlying communities are going to have strong feelings about this one...... Saint John common council's unanimously supporting the idea for increased regional policing. 

Common Councillor Greg Norton tells CHSJ News it's throwing away money to duplicate services that already exist.

He says we have a number of police forces that have duplication with management and various units so Norton thinks we need to do some work to see where we can shave some of that off.

Norton acknowledges while the decision to change policing models is up to the Regional Services Commission, having a major player like Saint John on side might be an incentive to get the ball rolling.
