Ontario Provincial Police detachment boards work with local communities that are policed by the OPP. They ensure each municipality and First Nation community has an opportunity to represent their local perspectives, needs and priorities.

OPP Detachment Boards Are Responsible For:

determining objectives and priorities for the detachment, in consultation with the OPP detachment commander

advising the OPP detachment commander assigned to the municipal area on policing provided by the detachment  and supports required in the area

participating in the selection of the detachment commander

receiving regular reports from the detachment commander

monitoring the performance of the detachment commander

providing an annual report to the municipalities and band councils regarding policing provided by the detachment

establishing local policing policies, as needed.
