The Bill amends the Police Services Act to allow municipalities

an additional choice in the way that they provide police services.

Section 5

means of only one of a number of listed methods. The Bill allows

municipalities to combine two or more methods where the municipality contains

remote or widely dispersed communities or where police services have

historically been provided by a different method in a discrete area of the

municipality.
