The final report is now online
The final policing report, the one the Councils will have to deal with, is now online at the County website. But if you want to see it right now click here. The report was hashed out in a very peculiar way. The committee met in one room and signed off on the meeting notes. No resolutions were made at this meeting and therefore no votes were taken. Amazing how such a process could produce a report that nobody wanted to put their names to. All of the actions recommended are in these "Notes of meeting" here. As you read it you will feel the atmosphere. Mr Bill Pyatt read a prepared statement of principles and the members of the committee were asked to comment on the items as the report was read. What a bunch of trained seals, and these people are our leaders. I wonder if they had to raise their hands to leave the room!

The OPP report which Ben kindly provided a link to indicated that Cobourg would get savings of at least $1.1 million over current costs in the first year of an OPP contract, and savings averaging $1.8 million per year in subsequent years.
Even though I am personally in favour of retaining the Cobourg Police it appears that neither the current council nor the triple majority will save it for us. Therefore I suggest that we should make a loud noise to ensure that these $1.1 to $1.8 million savings are enshrined a reduction of Cobourg municipal taxes to take effect as soon as the OPP contract is signed. If we do not insist on this the council will keep the money for more municipally inspired circuses that they arrive at by visioning"....Ugh
