The essence of the debate
In a letter to the CDS a taxpayer writes in to support the OPP taking over. Retired Cobourg Detachment Commander Terry McDermott writes and I quote, "Another question was raised about maintaining a four minute response and there is no reason why a reasonable response time will not be maintained. We must consider that not all incidents that officers are despatched to need the same level of response......."
If we have a four minute response now and the retired detachment commander talks about that level of service not being maintained, because not all calls need a quick response, then it must be true that he is saying that the same level of response we have now will not be maintained. Perhaps the four minute response is overkill but that's what we have now. Not to get it from the OPP is a lower level of service!!
Let's have the Cobourg Police cost a lower level of service and see if the savings are still there.
