Major spending hike for Codiac RCMP proposed, adding 17 officers
Codiac Regional Policing Authority's proposed budget still needs municipal approval
A major increase in spending and staffing has been proposed for the Codiac Regional RCMP.
The Codiac Regional Policing Authority, the civilian board overseeing the force, unanimously voted Thursday evening to support a $59 million budget for 2025. That's a 29 per cent budget increase from this year.
It includes adding 17 more police officers and five civilian support staff.
The budget would need to be approved by councils in Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview, the communities policed by Codiac RCMP, later this year.
"We've had significant increase in population in our community," Don Moore, chair of the policing authority board, told Information Morning Moncton on Friday. "That alone — we haven't kept up with the policing needs."
The Moncton metro region had one of Canada's fastest growing populations, Statistics Canada reported earlier this year.
The policing authority is funded by the three municipalities with a formula accounting for population and calls to police. Moncton's share in 2025 would be 70.8 per cent, with Dieppe at 18.5 and Riverview at 10.7.
Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold said city council has yet to review all of the details.
"I fully acknowledge that we have a growing community, but it does seem enormous at first blush," Arnold said of her initial reaction to the budget increase.
Dieppe Mayor Yvon Lapierre and Riverview Mayor Andrew LeBlanc did not provide interviews.
The budget proposal, if approved, would be the largest single-year increase in police staffing.
It would increase th budgeted number of regular officers from 156 this year to 173.
Moore
said the board is also recommending more increases in future years.
Fifteen officers are proposed to be added in 2026, followed by 14 more
in 2027 to bring the force to 202 members.
Information Morning - Moncton 11:26 The numbers followed a police workload review by PwC, formerly PricewaterhouseCoopers, an auditing and consulting firm.
Moore declined to share the full report with CBC, citing "a significant security aspect."
Arnold wants to see the report.
"I believe in data, and that's why we want the full workload analysis to see what we're dealing with here," Arnold said.
Moore said the increase should help address concerns residents have voiced about the visibility of police.
"With 46 additional police officers over the next three years, I would tend to think that that would increase that visibility that would help people understand that they have a role in our community, that we can be more safe and secure," Moore said.
Traffic unit proposed in 2026
Ten of the officers proposed for 2026 would be to re-establish a traffic unit, something some Moncton councillors requested.
Overall, the budget forecasts spending $13,436,019 more than this year when accounting for a previous deficit.
The new police and civilian staff account for $2.7 million of that, while salary increases for unionized Mounties account for $1 million.
The largest portion, at $3 million, is tied to the lease of the new police station on Albert Street, set to open next year. Under a 2019 agreement, Dieppe and Riverview will pay rent to help cover Moncton's cost to construct the $57-million building.
The next largest share, at $2.3 million, is for RCMP division administration, which covers various costs provided through the J Division headquarters in Fredericton.
The budget includes just over half a million dollars for body cameras for Codiac RCMP. The cameras are expected to be deployed nationally by the end of 2025.
There is $125,000 earmarked for an executive director position, a full-time staff role recommended in a police service review last year.
Money
to begin paying policing authority board members, another
recommendation of the review, is also in this budget. Members of the
three municipal councils appointed to the board would not be paid.

The RCMP have reported they are having trouble recruiting, and small communities across the country say they are suffering as a result.
Where does Codiac expect to find an additional 17 RCMP officers?

Edmonton has been getting them from the UK for years

If so, then why is the RCMP reporting recruiting difficulties?

Because the shine is off the pony and other cops are better paid.

.... uh huh... since Riverview pays for 10.7% of the police budget, shouldn't we have 10.7% of the staff patrolling out streets?
So, we should have just over 18 police...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
You can go months without seeing 1.

No.
You don't provide policing solely on the basis of who pays for it the most. If that were the case, the rich would be very safe and the poor live in crime-infested ghettos.
You police based also on the need due the population density and the number of crimes being committed. You allocate police where they are needed.
A sprawling estate might well pay a bigger share of property taxes but if only three people live there behind a big wall with security cameras and their own private guards and never see anything remotely looking like a criminal, then it doesn't make sense to constantly send a police car there.
Instead, you take that police car and have it patrol a part of the city that suffers more from crime.

"You police based also on the need due the population density and the number of crimes being committed."
So... why pay 10.7% if we only need and get 1% of the resources?
James Risdon
Reply to Jack Bell
When municipalities collect taxes to pay for services, they do so through property taxes. Those property taxes are calculated based on the municipality's mil rate and also the province's assessed value for the property.
So, if you live in a sparsely-populated but affluent neighbourhood, your property will be worth more and you'll pay more in property taxes than other people since you're all subject to the same mil rate.
It might not be "fair" but it's a commonly-accepted practice in Canada where the general consensus is that the rich should pay a higher proportion in taxes.

" Money to begin paying policing authority board members, another recommendation of the review, is also in this budget. Members of the three municipal councils appointed to the board would not be paid. "
Of course there will be more money to PAY the Board Members ; that will strike real fear into the hearts of criminals . All that money , and there won't be any decrease in crime , but there will be lots of traffic tickets issued as that is the low hanging fruit , and takes very little effort .

Nonsense. When you arrest a drug dealer or rapist or murderer and lock him or her away in jail, you eliminate their ability to commit crimes while they are in jail.

RCMP bust 8 N.B. family members on 57 weapons, drug charges
Christopher Tingley of 'Operation Jekyll' sues RCMP, Crown and Attorney General
Tingley was held in custody for about 16 months before being released on bail
A Riverglade resident is suing RCMP officers, Crown prosecutors and the Attorney General of Canada, alleging they abused the court process and investigated him in the absence of reasonable and probable grounds.
Christopher Tingley and seven of his family members were arrested on Dec. 11, 2008, as part of an RCMP investigation called 'Operation Jekyll,'.
That day, 130 RCMP members from across the Maritimes stormed eight different locations in the village of Salisbury.
They arrested Tingley and his family on 57 charges, including conspiracy to trafficking cocaine, OxyContin, marijuana, contraband tobacco and firearms. They were also charged with being members of an organized crime group.
Christopher Tingley was 25 years old at the time of the arrest, according to Alison Menard, a lawyer involved in the case. He was held in custody for about 16 months before being released on bail.
- 8 members of N.B. family arrested on drugs, weapons charges
- Tingley family members acquitted on drug charges
In 2011, a Moncton judge acquitted Tingley and three members of his family when the Crown prosecutor called no evidence.
The year before, charges were dropped against three other Tingleys. One member of the family pleaded guilty to trafficking drugs.
Alleged abuse of court system
That was the end of the case, until Jan. 18 of this year, when Tingley sued RCMP officers Staff Sgt. Mark Janes, Sgt. Jean (Chico) Belliveau and officer Deborah Craig.
He is also suing Crown prosecutors Michel Bertrand, Kathryn Gregory, Nicole Poirier, and Gabriel Bourgeois, as well as the Attorney General of Canada.
In the statement of claim filed at the Court of Queen's Bench Tingley says the prosecution's decision to call no evidence against him was "an abuse of the court system."
Alison Menard is a lawyer who was involved with the Tingley case. She
said Christopher Tingley spent about 16 months in jail. (Tori
Weldon/CBC)
Tingley alleges the prosecutors', RCMP officers' and attorney general's conduct was "fueled by malice."
In part, the statement of claim reads, "the defendants commenced and continued the investigation and prosecution of the Plaintiff in the absence of reasonable and probable grounds."
Alleged organized crime group
The day after the arrests in 2008, RCMP Staff Sgt. Robert Power alleged the accused were connected to a network that was expanding into other areas of the province.
He said, "this particular organized crime group, like other organized crime groups, have tentacles that reach out from their home locale."
It took the RCMP a year to build their case, involving officers from across the province. Ultimately, the case lead to one conviction: Kevin Tingley was convicted of drug trafficking and was sentenced to 42 months in jail.
Christopher Tingley is now suing the group for damages, including loss of income, loss of financial credit, defamation and legal fees.
Statements of defence responding to the allegations in Tingley's statement of claim have not been filed yet.
CBC News is waiting for responses from the RCMP and the Attorney General of Canada.
A notice of intent to defend has been filed on behalf of Crown prosecutors on Feb 28.
On August 23, a motion to have the allegations struck will be heard in Moncton.
E.J. Mockler, who is representing Tingley, could not be reached for comment.

The Board endorses a contemporary community policing approach and adopts the following definition:
“Community policing is an interactive partnership between the public and the police to mutually identify, prioritize, prevent and solve local crime and disorder problems thereby improving the quality of life. In New Brunswick, it is understood that all policing activities are aligned with the principles of community policing. Community policing is a way of doing business, a working philosophy with goals and processes that encompasses a vast array of strategies, programs and tactics. The Police Force and the Board have the responsibility to ensure that policies in place reflect the needs of the community.”
1.2 Governance
Governance is the exercising of direct authority over an organization or entity. It is the ability to control and direct the making of policy, as well as directing and influencing decisions made by the organization. It includes the capability to ensure that decisions made by the governing body are carried out in accordance with the governing body’s direction (oversight); with recourse to corrective action should this not occur.
Governance is the processes and structure used to provide direction to an organization’s general operations and activities.
1.3 Oversight
Oversight involves ensuring that the legislated functions for the police force are carried out by the organization and the services provided are in accordance with the law and a Code of Professional Conduct.
1.4 Vision
To provide effective governance that facilitates innovative and responsive policing to create a safe community through the forging of strategic partnerships between the community and its police.
1.5 Mission
To provide independent civilian oversight and governance of the Police Force in order to ensure a safe community.

Codiac Regional RCMP Unveils 2025 Budget Plan to Address Rising Community Needs
October 3, 2024
Moncton, Dieppe, Riverview, New Brunswick
News release
The Codiac Regional RCMP presented the details of the 2025 Budget to the Codiac Regional Policing Authority (CRPA), highlighting the need for increased investment to meet the changing needs in the Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview area.
In response to the requests presented by the residents of Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview for increased police services, the Codiac RCMP outlined its strategy to enhance public safety while strengthening community ties.
The 2025 budget plan reflects a 19.61% budget increase representing a total value of $9,361,640. 1.9M of this increase is attributed to the addition of 17 new members in 2025. 720K of the 2025 increase is allocated for the addition of five municipal employees. The remaining increase accounts for operational costs, including maintenance, indirect rates, municipal provisions such as the cost of leasing the new detachment, and funding for the CRPA.
Key Budget Highlights:
- New Staff: The addition of 17 new officers and five municipal employees will increase the Codiac RCMP's capacity to respond to the growing needs of Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview and will include enhanced community policing, crime reduction efforts, and specialized support for frontline officers.
- Support Services: Investment in customer service and media relations will improve communication with residents and foster stronger community relationships.
- Operational Improvements: Enhanced technology, including digital forensic tools and new vehicles, will optimize and improve police operations.
- Focus on Public Safety: The budget includes increased funding for social issue intervention, such as supporting mental health professionals and social workers in partnership with the police.
"The challenges we face, from population growth to rising crime rates, require a comprehensive and proactive approach," said Superintendent Benoit Jolette. "This budget will allow us to address immediate needs while planning for sustainable, long-term improvements in public safety."
In addition to new positions and technological advancements, the Codiac RCMP will expand its community engagement efforts, including community meetings and educational initiatives, to ensure transparency and foster a stronger connection with the public.
The proposed budget has been reviewed and approved by the CRPA and is set to be presented to the Tri-Community Councils in the coming months.
