Overall policing cost $ 9,834,313 in 2024 — $ 458,113 or 4.9 per cent higher than the estimated budget.

Salaries and benefits were more than $308,315 above what was budgeted.

Chief Michael Pearce attributed the overage to salaries and benefit costs for coverage for staffing shortages, overtime for a major complex death investigation.

“So the actuals don’t always match. And we do our best to stay within that budget and we’re certainly not spending money inappropriately or recklessly but there are things that cost money through the year that we can’t control.” [email protected] .
