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 Mulmur Police Services Board became the Mono-Mulmur-Melancthon 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.

The Board is a civilian body that oversees the Dufferin OPP Detachment 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.

Board Composition

The Board's seven members serve on a part-time basis. Under O. Reg. 135/24 three Board members are Town Council members, three are community members appointed by Council and one is appointed by the Ontario Government (provincial appointee).
