Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA)
In March 2019, the Ontario government passed the CSPA as part of the Comprehensive Ontario Police Services Act, 2019. On its proclamation date of April 1, 2024, the CSPA replaced the Police Services Act. The CSPA is intended to modernize policing and enhance community safety in Ontario.
Under the CSPA, effective April 1, 2024 the Orangeville Police Services Board became the Orangeville OPP Detachment Board. The Board is one of the four OPP detachment boards in Dufferin County following the Ministry’s consolidation of Dufferin OPP detachment boards from eight to four under O.Reg. 135/24. In conjunction with that consolidation, the Board’s membership was increased from five to six members and the composition of Board membership has changed. In addition to the Board's members who are Town Council members, Council-appointed community members to the Board has increased from one to three and the number of provincial appointees has decreased from two to one.
The Board is a civilian body that oversees the Orangeville detachment of the OPP and draws its authority from the CSPA and regulations.
Section 68(1) of the CSPA sets out the role of the Board in OPP oversight.
