Description
The central issue is how to further policing in remote communities by improving services and extending these services to more communities. The proposed service model approach is to extend the existing hub-and-spoke approach to provide greater coverage of remote communities. Cost estimates are developed to provide a level of policing presence so that most remote communities with a population of at least 100 have access, according to need, to either permanent police stationed in their community, or are within one hour of police stationed in a neighbouring community or regional centre and have an overnight facility from which these police are able to stay and operate for extended periods each week. Providing this level of policing in remote communities is estimated to require an additional 51 police, 3 permanent police stations (as well as 9 Themis stations converted to permanent police stations), 25 overnight facilities and 46 houses for police officers.--paraphrase p. vii of PDF.,
