Peterborough County OPP say its detachment will have limited public access during the provincial lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic.

To help reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, the detachment on Lansdowne Street East will limit routine criminal record checks/vulnerable sector checks and fingerprinting to essential workers and volunteers only.

Anyone seeking entry must make an appointment first, the OPP stated Thursday. Individuals will be pre-screened and are required to have proper personal protective equipment prior to entering the detachment.
