OPP Modernization – Iroquois Falls

Construction is now officially underway on a new Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachment that will help to enhance community safety in Iroquois Falls and create construction jobs.

At the peak of construction, it is estimated that 50 labourers will be at work daily on a typical site. Labour for the OPP Modernization project will be drawn from across the province.

The new facility will replace the existing detachment and provide the OPP with a larger, more efficient facility that will help them protect local families and keep the community safe. The building will include:

• Approximately 10,200 square feet of space

• Evidence vaults with a processing area

• A secure area with a fingerprint room and four holding cells

• Multi-purpose boardroom with public access for community meetings

• Modern building infrastructure to meet technology requirements

• A secure compound to accommodate seized vehicles.

The enhanced building is part of Ontario’s commitment to replace or upgrade OPP facilities for front-line officers, helping them keep Ontario’s communities safer. Creating safer, stronger communities is part of the Open Ontario plan to create jobs and boost the local economies across the province.
