The West Nipissing Police Services Board wants to go to court.

They want the council’s decision to seek alternative policing services meaning the OPP annulled.

The board says they have concerns with the decision by council.

They say it is seriously flawed and fundamentally unfair.

Chair Barry Bertrand says the board has an obligation to have councils conduct reviewed by the court.

In an interview last month, West Nipissing CAO Jay Barneau saId the board was consulted before the decision to go with the OPP to the degree that they had to be.

He said he respected the local police board may have thoughts or ideas but infact they really don’t have any jurisdictional responsibility on this.
