The Codiac Regional Policing Authority board has voted in favour of a roughly $70-million budget that would add six Codiac Regional RCMP officers next year, two fewer than the Mounties requested.
Thursday evening’s vote by the civilian board overseeing Codiac RCMP is one of several steps for the policing budget. A budget drafted by RCMP goes to the board for a vote before it goes to councils in Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview for approval as part of municipal budgets.
The unanimous vote came after the board had already discussed the 2027 budget in a closed-door meeting. It wasn’t clear why the board opted for two fewer officers.
