LETHBRIDGE An independent fiscal and operational review of the Lethbridge Police Service suggests the department could keep costs down by staggering shift times, increasing the duties of Community Peace Officers (CPOs), and hiring more civilians to do some of the work. Police services are one of the largest items in municipal operating budgets. The KPMG report compared policing costs in Lethbridge to spending in nine similar cities across the country. According to the report, the Lethbridge s per-capita expenditure was approximately $388, the highest among the selected communities. The average among the compared municipalities is $326 16 per cent lower than Lethbridge. Medicine Hat was second highest at $380 per capita.
