Expenditure Estimates for the Ministry of the Solicitor General (2026–2027)
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 supporting crime prevention initiatives at a local and provincial level, establishing provincewide police standards and providing police oversight. The ministry coordinates public safety initiatives among municipal, fire and emergency services. The ministry also regulates the private security and investigative services industry and is directly responsible for Ontario’s animal welfare 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 Centre of Forensic Sciences, Criminal Intelligence Service Ontario, Animal Welfare Services, the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) and Correctional Services Investigations and Intelligence Branch. The ministry also delivers training for first responders and frontline staff through the Corrections Centre for Professional Advancement and Training and Ontario Police College, and develops training courses and operates live mobile fire training units for local fire services through the OFM.
