(BRUCE PENINSULA, ON) -Members of the Bruce Peninsula Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continue to receive calls for police assistance left on the office answering machine after hours. This often causes undo delay in responding to calls for service outside of normal office hours.
The office answering machine is answered Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. by administrative staff. After hours, weekends and holidays the office answering machine is not checked.
If a member of the public requires immediate police assistance they should call 911.
If someone has a NON URGENT need for police but would still like to speak with or see an officer, they should dial the toll free number of 1-888-310-1122. This number will connect them to the OPP call taking centre dispatcher who in turn will direct the call to a detachment member who is on duty.
Every OPP detachment has a phone located at the front entrance of the detachment which will connect you with the OPP Communications Centre immediately.
