Kingston Police facing $1.3 million budgetary deficit for 2022
That total includes overtime and operating costs. While the university does provide the city with money to counteract any effect student street parties may have, the $150,000 the university provided this year is just a drop in the bucket. A report to the board showed that in the months of September and October, which typically include frosh week and homecoming, the police incurred $409,000 dollars in salaries and operating costs.
“So whether it be alumni, St. Lawrence College, people from other communities, we’re seeing people who just come to the event,” said Scott Fraser, acting chief, Kingston police. In the fall and in the late winter, thousands of young people flocked to the streets for unsanctioned street parties with dozens of officers on hand trying to maintain safety. While the university provides money to the police to help out, Fraser says he’d like to see more deterrents from the university to help keep costs down.
