Police Services Board

The Community Safety Policing Act, 2019 comes into force on April 1, 2024. Section 67(1) of the Act states that there shall be an OPP detachment board for each detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). OPP police services boards are responsible for determining objectives and priorities for police services, in consultation with the detachment commander, establishing local policies on police services, participate in the regular selection of the detachment commander, receive regular reports from the detachment commander and monitor the performance of the detachment commander.

The Hawkesbury O.P.P Detachment Board will include two (2) provincially appointed representatives, council representatives from each of the participating municipalities, and three (3) community members (one from the Township of Alfred-Plantagenet, one from Champlain Township and one from the Town of Hawkesbury).

Community Representatives are made up of one (1) for Champlain Township and one (1) for the Township of Alfred-Plantagenet. Members are generally appointed for the same term as Council.

Board members are expected to complete training as assigned, participate in the election of a Chair at the first meeting in each year, follow and adhere to the Members of Police Services Boards Code of Conduct and attend meetings as determined by the board with no fewer than four meetings each year.

Applications and questions for the Township of Alfred-Plantagenet should be directed to the Clerk for the Township of Alfred-Plantagenet at 613-673-4797.
