502-dollars a year, or 41-dollars a month for the average house hold. That's how much money the 2012 police budget will cost city residents. The budget was unveiled on Thursday before Woodstock City Council. The projected police budget is 12.2-million dollars, which is up from last year 4.4 per cent. Chief Rod Freeman believes this number isn't unreasonable for 24 hour police services. Freeman added, "Police responded to over 16 thousand calls in 2011, that indicates to me that we are providing a very trusting service." Most of the budget goes to salary and benefits, which is decided by an arbitrator. The project budget doesn't increase the number of officers, nor will any new vehicles be purchased in the upcoming year. Council voted to defer passing the budget to February 22.
