| Description: |
This initiative has established ongoing, stabilized funding for Quebec’s national police school (l’École Nationale de Police du Québec) by imposing a 1% annual contribution from the payroll of all police services in Quebec (pursuant to Quebec’s Police Act, Ref. c. P-13.1, art. 43). This contribution provides 75% of funding to the school, with the remaining 25% consisting of tuition and school registration fees. |
| Objective: |
The objective of this initiative is to ensure an ongoing and stable source of funding for the school. |
| Outcomes: |
An ongoing and stable source of funding for the school has been secured. |
| Resources: |
There was no cost to implement this initiative. Police services in Quebec are contributing 1% of their payroll budget to fund the school. This amounted to $12.6 million in 2010 and $12.8 million in 2011. Given that there are 15,793 officers in Quebec (based on December 2011 statistics) this amounts to approximately $810 for each police officer on payroll. |
