Over the next four years, the Winnipeg Police’s total annual budget (which includes all revenue sources, including provincial funding) is set to increase from 2023 figures by a massive $36.5 million, hitting $363.5 million in 2027. The city’s contribution to this, reported as “mill rate support” due to its funding from property taxes, will increase by $30.9 million over this span, reaching $312.2 million per year in 2027.
In 2024, the WPS is budgeted to spend more than $332 million, compared to $110 million for all of Community Services (which includes libraries, pools, arenas, and Leisure Guide) and $115 million towards public transit. Of this, the city is covering $278.5 million, about 85 percent.
Almost all of this will be going into paying the ever-higher salaries and benefits for cops already making six-figures
