North Glengarry Police Service (Re), 1999 ONCPC 4004

The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry applied to the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services for consent to abolish the North Glengarry Police Service and replace it with a unified Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) contract for the entire region.

The Commission reviewed the proposed policing arrangement to ensure it would provide adequate and effective police services.

While finding the overall complement appropriate, the Commission found the dedicated municipal policing complement unacceptably low compared to similar municipalities.

The Commission consented to the abolition subject to two conditions: the municipal complement must be increased to a minimum of 80 uniformed officers, and any outstanding disputes regarding severance and status of current members must be referred to arbitration if not resolved within 60 days.

City of Peterborough and Village of Lakefield (Re), 1998 ONCPC 4007

The City of Peterborough and the Village of Lakefield applied to the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services for approval to amalgamate their police services.

The Commission reviewed the amalgamation agreement to ensure it provided adequate and effective policing and complied with the Police Services Act.

The Commission found the operational and financial arrangements satisfactory but held that a clause restricting the third municipal board appointee to someone who lives or works in Peterborough contravened the Act.

The Commission approved the amalgamation subject to the deletion of the non-compliant board composition clause.
