Police services board
The Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA), came into effect on April 1, 2024. The CSPA replaced the Police Services Act and focuses on addressing community safety, enhancing police oversight, modernizing policing, and establishing mandated training requirements. Under the CSPA, it is required that there be an OPP Detachment Board for each detachment that provides policing in a municipality or First Nations Community.
The SDG OPP Detachment Board represents the six local municipalities within SDG Counties. The board advises the SDG OPP detachment commander with respect to OPP services within SDG Counties. The board consists of five members: the Head of SDG Counties Council or his/her designate; one member of SDG Counties Council; one layperson appointed by SDG Counties Council; and two persons appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council (Ontario).
Board members
- Coun. Bryan McGillis (Chair)
