About
OPP Detachment Boards in Ontario are governance bodies established to enhance civilian oversight of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and ensure that policing services are responsive to local community needs. Under the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA)., these boards were created to replace previous Police Services Boards and Community Policing Advisory Committees, streamlining the governance structure for areas served by the OPP.The primary purpose of an OPP Detachment Board is to provide advice and recommendations to the local OPP Detachment Commander on policing priorities, strategies, and community safety initiatives within their jurisdiction. By bringing together representatives from municipalities, Indigenous communities, and other stakeholders, the boards facilitate collaboration between the police and the communities they serve.This collaboration aims to:
Enhance Transparency and Accountability: Ensure that the OPP's actions and strategies are aligned with community expectations and that there is open communication about policing activities.
Address Local Needs: Identify and prioritize local safety concerns, allowing for tailored policing responses that reflect the unique characteristics of each community.
Promote Community Engagement: Encourage active participation from community members in discussions about safety and policing, fostering stronger relationships between the public and law enforcement.
By serving as a bridge between the OPP and the community, Detachment Boards play a crucial role in improving the effectiveness of policing services across Ontario. They help to ensure that law enforcement is not only maintaining public safety but also building trust and cooperation with the communities they protect.
