The Ottawa Police Service is projecting a deficit between $21 million and $25 million in 2026, driven largely by $10 million in non-recoverable overtime for unplanned protests. CTV's Kimberley Johnson reports that Horizon Ottawa board member Sam Hersh is calling for a budget freeze after the police service received its largest budget increase in 15 years.
