For many organizations, both public and private sector, this time of year is spent focusing on the budgets for the upcoming year. It is a time to reflect on the finances for the previous year and to prioritize and set goals for the coming year. For some, these discussions take place behind closed doors with very few contributing to the discussion.
Not so for the Toronto Police Service and the Toronto Police Services Board. This is not the first time I have blogged about the TPS budget process and the Board’s and the City’s role in this process. Here is a refresher.
The Toronto Police Services Board is committed to having an open and transparent budget discussion; one in which the members of the public can have input into helping set the budgetary priorities for the Service.
With that in mind, tonight, members of the public are invited to make submissions and speak directly to Board members about what they believe our priorities should be. The Toronto Sun wrote about our process earlier this week.
If you are interested in participating this evening, please contact the Board office at 416-808-8080.
