Summary

The Ministry of the Solicitor General (the ministry) is committed to ensuring that all communities in Ontario are kept safe. To fulfill its mandate, the ministry’s responsibilities are divided into two distinct parts: community safety and correctional services. As part of its community safety mandate, the ministry is responsible for establishing provincewide police standards, police oversight and supporting crime prevention initiatives at a local and provincial level. The ministry maintains the physical and economic security of Ontario by coordinating public safety initiatives among municipal, fire and emergency services. In addition, the ministry leads Ontario’s emergency response, including declarations of emergency and the implementation of emergency and public safety orders, including orders for enforcement, such as those enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also oversees the governance and licensing of private security guards and investigators and is directly responsible for Ontario’s animal welfare enforcement system.

Within the correctional services’ mandate, the ministry operates a safe, effective and accountable adult corrections system that includes correctional facilities and probation and parole offices across the province. The ministry is responsible for the safety and well-being of correctional services staff and those on remand or serving a custodial or community sentence.

Organizations within the ministry that contribute to community safety include the Ontario Provincial Police, the Office of the Chief Coroner, the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service, the Office of the Fire Marshal, Emergency Management Ontario and Correctional Services Oversight and Investigations. The ministry also delivers training for first responders and frontline staff through the Correctional Services Recruitment & Training Centre and Ontario Police College and develops training courses and operates live mobile fire training units for local fire services.

Ontario Provincial Police - Vote 2604

Reporting to the Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), the OPP provides collaborative, preventative and responsive front-line policing services in hundreds of municipalities and First Nations communities throughout the province. With a multi-faceted mandate, the OPP also leads various province-wide strategies and initiatives to address the victimization caused by organized crime including gangs and illegal guns, illicit drugs, child exploitation, human trafficking, money laundering, serious fraud, and cybercrime. In addition, the OPP patrols provincial highways and is responsible for safety on many of the waterways and trail systems in the province. The OPP maintains specialized provincial programs and information systems including Amber Alert, the Violent Crimes Linkages Analysis System, and the Ontario Sex Offender Registry. Under its provincial mandate, the OPP also conducts multi-jurisdictional strategic intelligence operations on matters involving international, domestic, and issue-specific terrorism and hate crimes. Mandated responsibilities further include emergency management response, oversight and support for critical incidents and major events; and specialized justice officials’ security and protection services for the Government of Ontario across the province.
