Victoria Police Chief says cutting its 2025 budget wish list by $2 million is a"non-starter" that would put public safety in jeopardy. .If it’s adopted next spring, the typical residential property could face a $376 property tax increase and a typical business could see a $1,000 increase.
“We have a request for seven additional staff, four police and three civilian positions,” said Victoria Police Chief Del Manak. “We need to be adding more strength and having greater capacity to provide a better service, not be reducing service at this time.”“Our police board, through the support of our leadership team went back to council and let them know that reducing the budget by that amount was a nonstarter,” said Manak.
