The Saint John Board of Police Commissioners is raising concerns about overtime at the city’s 911 centre.
Unaudited financial results presented to the board this week show overtime for the Public Safety Communication Centre (PSCC) is 247 per cent over budget as of March 31.
Just under $30,000 was budgeted for overtime during the first three months of the year, but the actual amount spent is around $104,000.
The latest budget forecast shows overtime reaching $360,000 by the end of the year three times higher than the budgeted amount of $120,000.
Commissioner Douglas Jones challenged the force and its chief to try and bring those numbers down.
