Southern Georgian Bay OPP opens new office in Port McNicoll
Southern Georgian Bay OPP has opened up a new extended-service office in Port McNicoll.
A small two-desk office has been created inside a large brick building at , just north of the Tay Community Rink.
“The new (office) provides greater efficiencies for the township and its citizens, along with maintaining community engagement through better visibility and increase contact with the community by OPP officers,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Burton.
This office is not a staffed police station and officers will not be there at all times. It will serve a convenient location for officers on patrol in Tay Township to complete reports, make calls and meet with members of the community.
Burton doesn’t want residents in the area to rely on the office always having an officer available. However, if a police cruiser is parked out front, residents are welcome to knock on the door and ask for assistance.
The OPP had been working out of another building in Port McNicoll, but it no longer met their needs. The township helped find them a new location.
“Tay Township is pleased to celebrate the grand opening of this newly relocated extended service office,” said Mayor Scott Warnock. “We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with the OPP.”
