The price of policing partying in Kingston's university district is costing the force resources that could be used to investigate minor crimes and hire new staff, according to a new report.
A police liaison officer looks on as people party on the streets of Kingston, Ont., on March 18, 2023.
Staffing for most weekends costs between $10,000 and $15,000, but that figure balloons to more than $100,000 during mass gatherings and street parties, said acting police chief Scott Fraser. By the end of the second fiscal quarter, the force had racked up $147,000 in unanticipated costs covering St. Patrick's Day celebrations, the report notes.
