A provincial announcement on Tuesday, Sept. 1 provides more finances for police agencies and the best part is it’s not coming from our tax dollars. A press release states, “Criminals will pay for greater public safety.” Most money or assets linked to criminal activity is deposited into Manitoba’s Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund.
