District Mandate

We are committed to delivering the highest quality policing service through enforcement, crime prevention, and education. Our communities are integral in helping the police to recognize, develop, and determine community policing needs. Our detachment members consult with community partners to identify policing initiatives that meet community needs. Some initiatives include: Prevention of family violence, traffic initiatives, drug enforcement and education, Youth Advisory Committee, Seniors Advisory Committee, Mental Health/Police Liaison Committee, and the Alternative Measures Program. The Northern Peninsula District relies on the support of specialized sections outside of the district, such as: Drug Section, Traffic Services, Forensic Identification Services, Major Crime, Federal Enforcement Section, Police Service Dog Section, Radio Support, Property Management, and Informatics Section. The Northern Peninsula District averages approximately 3,500 occurrences annually.
