The Lanark County OPP Detachment Board (LCOPPDB) has released its 2025 Annual Report on Board and Lanark OPP activities.

The LCOPPDB came into being in April 2025 following the new Community Safety and Policing Act, which led to the creation of one police oversight board for Lanark ...County. The OPPDB includes representation from all eight local municipalities (Beckwith, Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills, Montague, Perth and Tay Valley), replacing previous local Police Services Boards and Community Policing Advisory Committees.

The Board works with the Lanark County OPP Detachment Commander to meet objectives and priorities for the detachment and to provide community input related to policing provided.
