Kingston police have come out with the final tab to keep the peace during St. Patrick’s Day weekend in the University District.
In a report to the police services board, acting chief Scott Fraser says the total tab to police the district was just over $140,000.
More than half of that, $91,000, was to cover police overtime and to bring in outside police agencies.
The tab also includes $44,000 for food and accommodations.
