I think that before the police or state gets any money from the government they need to do their jobs. We were told that blackmail now is a civil matter instead of a criminal matter and they would not do anything about it. This is Ontario police.

Galion cops get $18.3k in grants! What!?! Yeah, ok, lets reward the folks (Galion police) that go around and harass residents of this town for their friends, yeah, that makes sense---that is about stupid. There are several members of the Galion police force that, if one of their friends doesn't like somebody, they will go and harass that individual for their friend---as a favor I guess(?) I don't know. I don't think rewarding this behavior is in the best interest of this town. Remember to vote "NO" on the police levy this coming tuesday!!! VOTE NO!

The Galion Police Dept has a bad reputation among officers of other nearby police forces. The galion Police are corrupt and dont deserve a penny of the money.
