Answer: A PC government’s commitment to safe communities is clear. Despite the fiscal challenges faced by our province, we presented Albertans with a plan in Budget 2015 that protected our policing services, providing more than a half a billion dollars for policing this year. Not a single police officer or sheriff was cut in this budget. In 2015-16, Calgary will receive approximately $88.8 million from the province for police, including:
- $19.1 in Municipal Policing Assistance Grant;
- $12.3 to support the 123 new officers added since 2008;
- $7.8 million for positions funded through ALERT (Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams; and
- $49.6 million in returned fine revenues (estimate based on 2014-15 revenues).
