The Orangeville Police Service (OPS) will officially disband as the Town of Orangeville is expected to enter into an agreement with Ontario’s solicitor general ministry for the OPP’s services.
The disbandment of the OPS was approved by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission after Orangeville council approved a costing proposal for the OPP in December.
“This completes an important step in the transition to OPP and future cost savings for the town,” Orangeville Mayor Sandy Brown said in a statement.
