Police
When police request funding for capital projects, how should council respond?
Context:
Funding requests from the police for capital projects are considered by city council alongside other capital projects. The Edmonton Police Service requested capital funding of $122 million for six growth projects as part of its 2019-2022 capital budget, $82 million of which was for a new firearms facility that was not approved. It also requested funding for renewal projects, much of which council approved, including the purchase of the Air-2 helicopter.
