But the city’s police chief says they were able to balance the books without any major impacts on frontline policing. The Saint John Board of Police Commissioners met virtually Wednesday night to approve the force’s $24.3 million operating budget for 2021. City council “We’re maintaining the number of resources that we have on duty today,” Chief Stephan Drolet told commissioners during the meeting, which lasted less than 20 minutes. “As far as the frontline goes and the resources go, we’re still OK.”
