Some members of the Police Services Board would like to see the beat officers walking area neighbourhoods patrol later into the evenings. Board Chair Joe Virdiramo says the program has been successful from 9 to 5 but they would like to see if the hours of the shifts could be altered. Virdiramo says they'll continue to look for efficiencies that will allow them to offer the program later into the evening. The cost to expand the program to another six officers would cost around a million dollars something Virdiramo says they can't afford at the moment.
