Police

The Municipality of Trent Lakes has a contract with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to provide policing services for our Municipality.

Contacting the OPP

Call 911 only in the event of an emergency! An emergency is any serious medical problem, fire, life-threatening situation or a crime in progress.

Be prepared to provide:

• Your exact location, address and town or city
• Your telephone number including area code
• Nature of your call and services required
• Stay on the line until advised to hang up

If you call 911 in error, do not hang up, stay on the line and explain to the dispatcher that you do not have an emergency. If you hang up, the dispatcher will call back to confirm that there is no emergency. If you don't answer, a police officer will be dispatched to check on your wellbeing.

In a non-emergency, you can call 1-888-310-1122 or 1-888-310-1133 (TTY).

Report a crime

You can report a crime online through the Citizen Self Reporting tool.
