Prince George city council received a report regarding options for a Local Area Service to support overnight security patrols of the downtown area, including financial consideration and process options.
The report explains the choices include reallocating existing bylaw resources, contracting additional security, or exploring broader safety measures like CCTV and environmental design. Funding could come from general taxation, a Local Area Service (LAS) agreement, or a mix of both. LAS can be initiated by property owner petition or Council initiative, each with defined approval processes.
Council received the report for information with an update requested at an upcoming public safety meeting.
