North Battleford has received funding for targeted policing initiatives from the province once again for 2018.

The $770,000 investment will fund seven existing North Battleford RCMP officer positions thru 2018.

“We are happy to help support the dedicated RCMP members in North Battleford through the Municipal Police Grant,” Battlefords MLA and Advanced Education Minister Herb Cox was quoted as saying in a provincial release.

The grant supports “enhanced community policing” throughout North Battleford, freeing the RCMP can focus on other priority matters.
