The Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners is putting forward an amended 2021 operating budget to city council with additional savings.
About $19,000 will be coming off of the police budget in salaries and benefits after two recruits resigned from their positions.
Chief Rick Bourassa said both officers were unable to demonstrate the required proficiency with firearms at the Saskatchewan Police College.
“That is a mandatory piece of policing. We cannot have officers engaged that would not be at the appropriate level of sufficiency with firearms. So, both of those individuals did offer their resignations and I have accepted them,” Bourassa said.
