The law applies stricter regulations to local police forces, including the training officers must go through. The new legislation, however, did not come with any new funds for local police forces to handle the changes. Rushing to get officers trained and meet new standards is a fresh cost the force said it will struggle to absorb. The key concern is a lack of regular, guaranteed funding for small local forces. A spokesperson for Solicitor General Michael Kerzner emphasized to Global News that grants were available, but local municipalities will have to find a way to make up any shortfall.
