OPP Auxiliary Unit

Our Mission:

The Ontario Provincial Police maintains an Auxiliary Program comprised of civilian volunteers. Members of the auxiliary have no police authority / power and must rely on the same arrest provision afforded regular citizens. The Police Services Act does, however, provide for instances when the auxiliary officer may be designated peace officer status.

In 2007, the Essex County OPP Auxiliary Program donated a total of 8576 hours.

Patrol hours 4277 hours
Community Policing 1159 hours
Training 2260 hours
Administration 625 hours
