OPP are hoping to see more close circuit television cameras in downtown Fort Frances.
They’re teaming up with the town on a grant application that will provide up to 200-thousand in funding.
The downtown core has been a hotbed of front-line calls for the OPP in recent years.
In 2019, there were more than 1,200 calls in the downtown core. That was about 40 per cent of all front-line calls that year.
Last year, the number of calls to the downtown area increased and accounted for 45 per cent of all calls.
The OPP’s Melinda Mills says police see a real need for the cameras. She says they can reduce the time it takes to investigate a single incident.
