Wingharn police chief speaks
against. OPP inonopol.
by -Blake Patterson
Huron County has asked the Ontario
Provincial Pollee to consider patrolling, the
entire county, but Wingham wants no part
of it. • • . - -
According to Wingham Police Chief
Jim Dore, the OPP should not be given a
trioriopoly in Hunan .because competition
is needed toensure fair pricing from the
• provincial force.. Without alternative
policing choices, such as the Wingham
Poke Service, Dore said the county risks
placing itself at the pricing whims of the
OPP.
•
The OPP already provides protection to,
all Huron County municipalities except
Wingham. As such, the Wingharn Police
Service wants to increase its patrol area
and provide an alternative, l'he TOwnships
of Morris and.Howick and the Villages of
Brussels and Blyth have *eady said they ,
• are in favour of joining the Wingham ser-'
We; OreY 1§wnsbil) has naso .expressed
interest. , • •-
If the Wieghnin Police Service is dis-
banded in favour of the OPP, Dore said
, Huron County policing costs could rise to
$370 per household -- as it has in other
parts of the province. Wingham, he said,
will provide .t4 serviCe for $190 per
household.
"We're still enough of a threat to keep
prices fair," said Dore. "Any business per-
son knows the only way to maintain fair
and consistent, pricing in the market
through eornpetition." . •
Dere went on, to say the province's
solicitatgenerars office has cOnfirmed the • '
Winghatit Police. Service will have no
• problem meeting the police protection
• adequaey standards currently being debar,
ed by the provineial government. •
' Dore attended the cOnty Q00061 rile0t-
, nig to address rumours the county intends •
to* force , the Wingharn Police Services to
disband in an attempt to drive a b'atterdeal
