London Detachment is comprised of 35 police officers and five public service employees who serve the public in a geographical area that stretches from Lake Huron to Lake Erie and includes Elgin, Huron, Lambton, Middlesex and Oxford counties. London is centrally located and adjacent to the intersection of two main highways, the 401 and 402, which are part of the route known as the NAFTA Highway. To aid in the enforcement at Ports of Entry into Canada, a storefront office with three detachment members is operated in Sarnia.
