Fort Frances Concerned About Cost of Policing

Fort Frances is expressing concern with the cost of having the OPP patrol its streets.
Councillor Rick Wiedenhoeft says the cost to contract police services has increased 47% over the past decade, to almost $2.5-million this year.
Wiedenhoeft wants the province to help ease the burden.
Fort Frances disbanded its own municipal force in favour of the OPP in 1996.
