flag Niagara Region seeks $2.7M cut to police budget amid tax concerns and funding limits.

flag Niagara Region councillors have requested a $2.7 million cut to the Niagara Regional Police’s 2026 operating budget, opposing a proposed 11.5% increase that would exceed the region’s 3.5% spending cap. flag The request follows rising property taxes and concerns over police hiring and wage costs, despite prior $9.6 million in savings. flag NRP must decide whether to comply, make smaller cuts, or appeal to the provincial Inspector General if funding is deemed inadequate. flag Final budget decisions await NRP’s response, expected in January. flag Other services saw varied adjustments, and a $192.8 million capital budget was approved using a data-driven project prioritization process.
