During the Prince George Citizen's last poll it said "the City of Prince George has approved spending the money to hire two additional RCMP officers" and then asked "was that the right choice?"

Once again poll participants were somewhat split on their decision.

In the lead with 37 per cent and 365 votes was "yes, the more officers working to reduce the city's crime rate, the better."

While the rest of the options came in really close together.

With 22 per cent and 214 votes readers said "no, the Prince George RCMP need to be more efficient with the resources they have," followed by "yes, the city has been underfunding police services," with 21 per cent and 205 votes.

Coming in with 20 per cent and 201 votes was "no, more social workers, addictions counsellors and street nurses are needed instead."

There was a total of 985 votes. Remember, this is not a scientific poll.

The next poll says "Alberta Premier Rachel Notley announced Tuesday that her province will stop importing B.C. wine as the battle over the TransMountain pipeline continues to escalate," and asks "how should Premier Horgan respond?"
