The Winnipeg Police Service hopes other city departments will help cover the tab for building permanent security barriers around its new headquarters.

On Friday, the Winnipeg Police Board will scrutinize the police's second-quarter financial report, which forecasts a $6.5-million year-end deficit caused in part by additional costs associated with the city's new police headquarters.

The report also makes reference to some police-HQ needs that will require even more money to address.

"Some bigger issues, that were identified prior to the move, still exist and need to be addressed," the report states.

Supt. Scot Halley said one of those issues is the need to replace concrete Jersey barriers that were placed around the building with a permanent form of protection from drive-up motor-vehicle attacks. The price tag for erecting bollards around the building, for example, was projected to be $1.9 million last year.
