As Detachment Commander for the OPP in Essex County, I have a genuine interest in reaching out to all residents to ensure they have a comfort level with the policing services we provide. It is my vision that the OPP continue to deliver policing services in a manner consistent with being one of the most respected, competent, professional and accountable police agencies in Canada.

Through this forum, I offer residents an opportunity to provide me feedback on any issues facing community safety in your community. I welcome suggestions or constructive feedback on how we can "collectively" improve the delivery of our services. I would also like to hear your comments on any interactions you have with the dedicated officers who serve in your communities.

I look forward to utilizing this forum which will provide easy access for residents to interact directly with the Detachment Commander of Essex County OPP.
