Thirty-eight people signed up to speak at a virtual hearing of the Ottawa Police Services Board's finance and audit committee Monday as it considers approval of the Ottawa Police Service's proposed budget — a budget that features a 4.5 per cent increase. TODAY, the Ottawa Police Services Board will meet to discuss and decide the 2021 Ottawa Police Services budget. "So over at city council we need to fight for more funds into those areas," she said. The police budget will go to a vote on Nov. 23 at a Ottawa Police Services Board meeting. If the budget is approved, it goes before city council for final approval.
