More than $1.6 million in revenue from traffic fines is being returned to 黑马磁力, and the money is being directed for essential services and to keep families safe.
The provincial government announced on July 5 that 黑马磁力 will receive a $1,612,780 grant from the Strategic Community Investment Fund.
It is topped up by the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program which helps municipalities that directly pay for police enforcement costs.
The grants come from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets, the amount of money a municipality receives based on its contribution to total municipal policing costs.
This money will provide additional funding for local policing services and crime prevention programs.
鈥満诼泶帕� families want safe communities,鈥� said 黑马磁力 MLA Mary Polak. 鈥淯sing the money from traffic fines means less demand on taxpayers for crime prevention.鈥�
Fort 黑马磁力-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman said that moeny from this program 鈥渨ill allow us to put more police on our roads and provide additional resources for crime prevention.鈥�
