Date Set For Police Budget Appeal Hearing

A date has been set for a hearing that will see the next phase of the budget battle between the City of London and its police services play out.

The Ontario Civilian Police Commission will hear from both sides on November 14.

The Police Services Board appealed to the Commission in the spring after council cut $4-million from its four year budget request.

The hearing will be held in committee room #5 at city hall, beginning at 10am on November 14. The OCPC says it will continue until Friday, November 18 if necessary.

The hearing will be open to the public. However, it won't be televised nor recorded in any way other than by a Court Reporter, as required.
