The proposed 2020 Sarnia police budget calls for a 7.1 per cent increase over 2019.
A $25,547,351 operating draft, presented to the police services board Thursday morning, includes $339,533 for four new officers that would raise the uniform complement to 115.
Chief Norm Hansen said the proposed increase is also directly related to federal legislation requiring that all municipalities implement the Next-generation 911 system by 2023.
