Board members felt user fees could be applied to minor, additional services like fingerprinting and providing accident reports for insur- ance purposes, rather than for general police service. Halton's police service already imposes some user fees on some of its services such as $15 for a copy of a motor vehicle accident occur- rence record and $20 for fingerprinting done for security checks. At the same meeting board members received information on a new $25 fee imposed by the RCMP for processing criminal record checks for people applying for security clearances for adoptions, visas and other applications. The subject arose at last Thursday's police services board meeting in which board members eyed a request from Halton Region to cut $900,000 from its 1993 budget to fall in line with Premier Bob Rae's Expenditure Control Program. _ The Halton Police Services Board is considering adopting user fees for some services in order to offset falling provincial revenues.
