Front-Line Police Services Could Be Restored If Non-Police Jobs Are Cut

The Saint John Police Association says well over a million dollars can be saved if city police eliminates several non-police positions and uses staff already available at city hall.

The positions include Chief Administration Officer, Director of Finance, and IT personnel.

Association spokesperson Bob Davidson says recent cuts to the front-line is unacceptable, especially when those positions can be handled by staff at city hall.

He says more money can also be saved if the Staff Sergeant rank was eliminated, which would get rid of 4 positions and save half a million dollars.
