The Winnipeg Police Service expects to be about $6.5 million over budget by the end of 2016.

A third-quarter financial report headed to Tuesday’s Winnipeg Police Board meeting notes revenues are currently on track to lag behind last year, primarily due to a decline in photo enforcement tickets.

Overall revenues are expected to drop by $3.75 million by year’s end.

An increase in September tickets, however, could help chip away at the shortfall, the report notes.

Meanwhile, expenses are over-budget, primarily due to salaries and benefits that make up 83.4% of police spending. Police cancelled a fall recruit class this year to cut costs.

Overtime is currently down by 1.95%, though the report notes a recent increase in calls could bring overtime over budget by the end of the year.
