What can the commissioner do in this case?

A Company is seeking police protection for the duration of industrial turmoil at its Head Office. During discussions with the Police, the Police suggested that a mobile patrol would be adequate because the disorder was largely contained.However, the CEO of Paria insisted on permanent police presence. He then offered to compensate the Police, if they agreed on a permanent on site presence during the turmoil.

The Police thereafter indicated that they will provide 10 officers at a rate of $5000 per day, which they will maintain during the entire strike period.

A few weeks after the strike was over, the Commissioner of Police, sent an invoice to the Company for the cost of protection for two months.However, the company refused to compensate, and argued that the Police have a duty under law to protect the company from any pending violence and lawlessness.
