The Town of Brome Lake has been in discussion with Bromont for two years about the its police force covering TBL. Mayor Richard Burcombe said at a press conference Thursday, August 30, that it would save TBL about $400,000, roughly 20 per cent, compared to what it pays the Sureté du Quebec.
The move would have to be authorized by Quebec’s Minister of Public Security. Burcombe said he is hoping that the new MNA in Brome-Missisquoi will recognize the need for both communities to be served by the same police force.
