(rdnewsNOW file photo) decision looming City council to discuss policing review at special meeting Jan 9, 2020 10:17 AM

Later this month, city council will continue its discussion on whether Red Deer should stick with RCMP for its policing services or move to a municipal police force.

A special meeting of council has been set for 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

On Dec. 3, council held another special meeting were they were provided with the policing review done by KPMG.

The review identified four considerations that may impact the options outlined in the report, such as changing environmental factors, a review of the Police Act, the recent unionization of the RCMP and changes in Police Governance Practices.
