By Craig Needles

February 25, 2024 - 5:52pm

As debate over London's policing budget intensifies and council gets set to make a decision, London Police Chief Thai Truong and London Police Services Board chair Ali Chahbar join Craig in the studio to discuss the sticker shock felt by some in the community over the $672-million price tag.

What will be the markers to show this sort of expenditure is successful? Do we really need a new training centre? Or a new LAV?

Those questions and more in a wide-ranging conversation.

The Craig Needles Podcast is powered by the Covent Garden Market and Downtown London.
