$120,000 in 2017.
Those are just the direct police costs (not paramedic).
That doesn't include the burden on the emergency room (and the effects on other patients).
The detours and delays on the GRT (and its passengers).
The damages to property, future insurance costs because of the streets reputation, etc.
