The best price for the service is
something North Huron Councillor
Jeff Howson feels may still need
some looking into when it comes to
policing.
With East Wawanosh- and Blyth
on a user-pay system with the OPP
and the Wingham ward served by its
own police services, Howson
wondered about contracting the OPP
and if it is possible. He suggested
that if there was potential for a
contract, perhaps with the countS, or
another municipality, rather than
user-pay for the two wards, and
council didn't look into it they were
remiss.
"Why not go to the OPP and ask if
this is something we should be
investigating," he asked.
Councillors questioned whether it
would be allowed with a hybrid
force. Councillor James Campbell
also rioted that now any number of
officers can patrol in the two wards,
but with a contract there would only
be th8 number stipulated.
Howson agreed that it may not be
something the township is interested
in. "But unless we inquire and do
our homework, how do we know?"
"We talk about lots of different
topics for saving money. This is one
more. It might save us dollars down
the road so I think it's worth looking
into," said Howson.
Campbell wondered if the
Wingham Police Services should
also be asked for a quote, sayig he
believed they were in a positiCn to
do so.
Howson disagreed, however,
saying that with the local force
thinking it was going to be
disbanded until earlier this year,
they were now working to get
themselves up to the provincial
requirments. "I think there's a lof of
things that force needs to do and I
think it's better for them to
concentrate for now on
(Wingham)."
Howson staunched any further
