Summary

The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services is committed to ensuring that Ontario’s diverse communities are supported and protected by law enforcement and that public safety and correctional systems are safe, secure, effective, efficient and accountable. The ministry is undertaking bold new legislation to modernize Ontario’s policing framework and adult correctional system. This includes improving standards, oversight and accountability for policing and enabling a more collaborative approach to community safety that supports the needs of diverse communities, including First Nations. In addition, the ministry will transform the adult correctional system that balances individual and public safety with the rehabilitation, reintegration, human rights and dignity of those in our care and custody. The ministry also coordinates community initiatives such as animal welfare, forensic and coroner’s services, fire investigation/prevention and public education, emergency planning and management.
