The Township of Terrace Bay is now accepting applications for the New - Nipigon 1 Police Service Board.

What is a Police Services Board?

The new Comprehensive Ontario Police Services Act, 2019 comes into effect on April 1, 2024. The Police Services Act (PSA) requires municipalities to provide adequate and effective police services and to maintain a Police Services Board (PSB) for general oversight for the provision of police services in the community.

Detachment Level Joint Boards

With the renewal of the Act, changes have been made to switch to detachment level PSB’s rather than individual /municipal.  Given the physical size of the area served by the OPP Nipigon Detachment, a proposal was submitted to have two police service boards for the Detachment, rather than one.  The proposal was that Schreiber, Pays Plat and Terrace Bay be serviced through one joint board (“Nipigon 1”) , and that Nipigon, Red Rock, Dorian and the Red Rock Indian Band (“Nipigon 2”) would be serviced through a second joint board.[1]  The two-board proposal was approved in 2023.

The Regulation to allow the new boards is in progress, and it is anticipated that it will be passed before the end of March.  This is in anticipation of the replacement of the (current) Police Services Act with a new piece of legislation, called the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019.  The legislative changes require the member communities to appoint a Board in-full effective April 1, 2024.
