Officers with the Kenora OPP are reporting a significant increase in calls for service in their latest quarterly report.
During a Police Services Board meeting earlier this week, Detachment Commander for the Kenora OPP, Jeff Duggan, says calls for service in March were listed at 1,392, a significant increase over March, 2020. In February 2021, the OPP reported 1,149 calls.
For violent crimes, Duggan says sexual assaults are down overall this year after police reported an increase in these crimes in early 2020. 2021’s first quarter assaults are down and no robberies have been reported, but Duggan says their Community Street Crime Unit continues to be busy with drug crimes.
