OUR VISION

Safe Communities... A Secure Ontario

OUR MISSION

Committed to public safety, delivering proactive and innovative policing in partnership with our communities.

OUR VALUES

Professionalism, Accountability, Diversity, Respect, Excellence and Leadership

Ontario’s Mobilization & Engagement Model of Community Policing Community Engagement & Liaison Communities which have the greatest capacity to resolve issues that threaten their safety, security and well-being, require the least police assistance. Situational Crime Prevention Measures: focus on specific forms of crime - like double-cylinder, dual bolt locks that prevent some forms of break and enter. Police may have to find the natural community leaders and engage them to help community members increase their own safety, security and well-being.

Message from the Detachment Commander As Detachment Commander I am humbled to provide public service to Haldimand County and remain proud of all our detachment members and their accomplishments. This Action Plan outlines the broader goals of the Haldimand County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). I believe that the foundation of a safe community comes from a supported collaboration between the police and the community, working together to identify and resolve local problems and issues to prevent their recurrence with the goal of increasing the quality of life. The Action Plan acts as a social contract with our citizens and responds directly to the community’s identified needs and concerns. The plan is used as a blueprint for public safety and security.
