The price tag to build a new Ottawa police facility in Barrhaven has increased by $60 million.
Staff say the new south facility would cost $178 million, up from the $118.2 million approved by the Ottawa Police Services Board in 2021. In a report for the board, Chief Eric Stubbs says the service can't afford to spend more money on aging stations like Leitrim and Greenbank. "As it pertains to OPS staffing levels, the Mayor has pledged to grow the sworn complement and the OPS has developed its own staffing plan after several years of no growth. An increase to the staffing complement is anticipated to require a minimum increase of 54,000- square-feet of facility space by 2026."
Always more police,by-law and technical surveillance. Imagine if Ambulance Services had this small bump in funding. Think about.

Damn hunters! I thought JustinTrudeau banned guns? Hmm It’d be interesting to know the percentage of racial denominations involved in guns & gangs. Or, would that be racist for the population to ask what has increasingly been responsible for related criminality and jeopardizing their safety, especially since 2015!
