The OPP proposal
OK, so the skinny is this: the OPP came to Town tonight and presented a proposal to Council, Council listened and then made a motion to refer it back to staff with a list of items that need answers. Here is the motion
The bottom line is that Cobourg will be policed by means of a "standalone model" which would be only one of two in the Province (Quinte-West is the other). Headed by a Staff Sergeant and 23 Officers led by 5 Sergeants. The cost for this is estimated at $4,129,665.00 for the first year.
Job losses would be in the Communications department as all communications will handled by OPP Orillia. Only 4 civilians will be keeping their jobs, 2 actually as the other 2 are not now used by Cobourg (datacentre).
The OPP will offer jobs to the current officers and the officers will be dedicated to Cobourg not the area.
A public meeting will be held in May to elicit public opinion.
Stay tuned.
BTW I have just checked my files and find that my monthly policing costs have risen $9.00 per month in the last five years. I can obviously handle that!!
