(THUNDER BAY, ON) – A recent review of Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachments in the North West Region identified some opportunities for efficiencies and reinvestment.
As a result, the Armstrong Detachment ceased to be a “stand-alone” detachment on August 1, 2016 and became part of the Thunder Bay Detachment as a satellite detachment.
The OPP continuously evaluates its operations to seek efficiencies and keep policing affordable for all the communities it serves.
All levels of management, the Ontario Provincial Police Association, the Commissioned Officers Association and involved stakeholders have been engaged in this process to identify and address any concerns prior to the implementation.
Staffing levels at Armstrong Detachment will remain the same and the change will not affect frontline policing services or hours of operation.
The OPP will continue to exceed adequacy and effectiveness standards for policing everywhere we serve.
