Summary

The Ministry of the Solicitor General (the ministry) is committed to ensuring that all Ontario’s communities 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. It 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. 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. It 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, Correctional Services Oversight and Investigations and the Anti-Racism Directorate. 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 for local fire services.

The ministry is committed to reforming Ontario’s adult correctional system to increase efficiency, enhance long-term outcomes and improve the experience of our frontline staff.

Inspectorate - vote 2612

The Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA), which received Royal Assent but is not yet in force, establishes a provincial Inspector General of Policing (IG) as part of the ministry. The IG and supporting Inspectorate of Policing (IOP) will monitor, advise and conduct inspections on the delivery of policing and compliance with the CSPA and its regulations. In addition, the IOP will investigate complaints related to board member misconduct, the delivery of policing, and failure to comply with the CSPA and its regulations, including systemic failures. The IG may issue directions and impose measures to address non-compliance and to ensure the delivery of policing is in accordance with the provincial standards. The IOP will enhance the ministry’s capacity to monitor compliance with the CSPA and its regulations across the province and will report annually on its activities.
