preferred proponent

Opportunity In order to improve community safety and better support police operations across the province, the government will be updating provincial police facilities across the province. Ontario is working to improve community safety and better support modern policing operations by updating Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) facilities across the province.  Nine new detachments will be constructed, replacing buildings at the end of their useful lifespan. The new detachments will be located in: Huron County Detachment, 325 Albert Street, Clinton Port Credit Detachment, 2735 Argentia Road, Mississauga Hawkesbury Detachment, 1425 Cameron Street, Hawkesbury Manitoulin Island Detachment, 488 Boozeneck Road, Little Current Marathon Detachment, 101 Peninsula Road, Marathon  Parry Sound Detachment, 1 North Road, Parry Sound Fort Frances Detachment, 200 McIrvine Road, Fort Frances Moosonee Detachment,  16 Butcher Road, Moosonee   Orillia Detachment, 1 University Avenue Community and Green Impacts The OPP and the communities it serves will benefit from enhanced community safety with the construction of nine new facilities. The new detachments will be designed and built to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver standard, which recognizes buildings with reduced environmental impacts. Results The new facilities for police detachments in nine cities across the province will replace older buildings that have reached the end of their useful lifespans. Along with administrative areas for police and support staff, each site will include evidence storage vaults, holding cells and interview rooms. The nine new detachments across the province include Moosonee, Fort Frances, Hawkesbury, West Parry Sound, Manitoulin Island, Port Credit, Marathon and Orillia. The structures being replaced are an average of 40 to 60 years old and are well past their expected lifespan. They need to be replaced so the OPP can offer the best possible service to the people it serves. New detachments will range in size from 17,000 to 35,000 square feet. CCTV system for cell monitoring. Secure sallyport allowing for direct access to secure holding cells and prisoner processing area. Buildings meet new accessibility standards in the public area. Spacious Exhibit/Evidence Vaults with a proper processing area. Holding cells (Adult Male/Adult Female/YOA). Modern building infrastructure to meet changing technology requirements.
