Saint John Police Chief Bill Reid says budget challenges are ahead but that won't stop the force from delivering top notch service.
City Hall has capped the force's budget to a 1 percent increase per year for the next two years.
Reid tells CHSJ News it's a juggling act but he's up for the challenge.
He says citizens will not notice any overt changes to the quality of their police service and all public safety needs will be met.
