The police union is once again sounding the alarm over communication problems between them and police management, particularly the Chief of Police.
In a presentation to the Board of Police Commissioners, the union says communications have broken down and are akin to how the force was ran back in 1918.
Union spokesperson Bob Davidson tells CHSJ News it's the root cause of current legal woes between certain officers and the force.

The various cases range from maternity rights and benefits to promotions.
He says while the Saint John Police Force may be one of the best forces in the country, its morale is very low.
The union also making recommendations on how to save the force more money and restore more front-line services -- such as cutting several non-police positions and the Staff Sergeant rank.
Commission Chairman Chris Waldschutz says all recommendations will be looked at by the commission.
