Summer Edition: Community safety remains a key issues in upcoming municipal election

Community safety is often an issue during municipal elections. Police performance elicits a range of responses. This is especially true these days. It is a particularly hot topic in Cobourg, but not exclusively. Port Hope police face many similar issues. Some of the rural municipalities also face challenges under the OPP. Budget time is always tense, igniting its own set of challenges. On today’s show, you will hear a familiar voice. It is former Cobourg Chief Paul VandeGraaf speaking just before he retired in May. It is an opportunity to track the evolution of many of the highly charged issues, see the throughline to today, and hear the candidate promises.
