Espanola Police arbitration talks underway

Espanola Police Association President, Constable Ed Stortz, says the police association will be sitting down to discuss a number of issues related to the impending disbanding of the police service.

Stortz says the talks start today and will focus on severance packages for the staff, as well as wages.
