A recent review of OPP detachments in the North East Region identified some opportunities for efficiencies and reinvestment says a news release.
As a result, the OPP will operationally realign Espanola with Manitoulin Detachment and the Noelville, Warren and Killarney Detachments will become satellites of the Sudbury Detachment.
"The OPP continuously evaluates its operations to seek efficiencies and keep policing affordable for all the communities it serves. All involved stakeholders have been engaged in this process to identify and address any concerns prior to the implementation which is anticipated for April 1, 2017.
"None of these changes will reduce frontline policing services and administrative hours will remain the same for each location. The OPP will continue to meet or exceed provincial policing standards anywhere it serves," says the release.
