Almaguin Highlands OPP Detachment Board
The Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, came into effect on April 1, 2024 and has replaced the Police Services Act, to focus on addressing community safety; enhancing police oversight; modernizing policing, and establishing consistent mandated training requirements.
Under the CSPA, it is required that there be an Ontario Provincial Police Detachment Board for each detachment that provides policing in a municipality or First Nations community.
In 2021, the Ministry of the Solicitor General approved a new board, being the Almaguin Highlands OPP Detachment Board, composed of seven members: four Municipal Councillors, two Community Representatives, one Provincial Appointee, and one Secretary (a non-voting member).
The Almaguin Highlands OPP Detachment Board represents the 12 municipalities within Almaguin Highlands.
