Chamber of Commerce president says round table discussion between the business community and police was productive.
THUNDER BAY — Local business leaders are concerned with the visibility of police in business areas, prioritization of theft investigations, and allocation of police resources in the city.
“Enforcement isn't the only answer to some of the challenges we're facing," said Fleury. "We know that there are layers to these challenges, and how that could also help to relieve some of the pressure on the force. And make sure that the people who need help are getting the right help, rather than the police perhaps dealing with them when that's not really a policing issue.
According to Robinson, the discussing also touched in the question of increasing police presence in business areas. According to Robinson, Fleury said that the police service is consulting with an expert to review their resources and see where they can free up some funds, and that more will come to light on the review in the new year.
“Those were some of the things that the police chief was going to take back and talk to his team, about some simple ways to just raise that visibility."
