Should London do what Sarnia's considering: Dump LPS for OPP
Sarnia is talking about dumping their municipal police force and having OPP instead, after rejecting the Force's budget request to build a new police station for $100 million.
London council recently approved a 24% budget increase to LPS' over the next 4 years to bring their budget over $500 million--over 20% of your property taxes. This year LPS is planning on buying another light armored vehicle for $500K despite using their current one only 6 times in 2024. To date, over $5 million of taxpayer dollars has gone towards paying salaries of LPS officers who have been suspended for breaking the law.
