The Lanark County OPP Detachment Board is a local police oversight body that provides advice and information to municipal councils on matters outlined in the Community Safety and Policing Act. It meets several times each year and works with the Lanark OPP Detachment to determine objectives and ...priorities for the community.

Because it aims to ensure work is representative of the communities it serves, the Board consists of a councillor from all eight local municipal councils:
▪ Beckwith
▪ Carleton Place
▪ Drummond/North Elmsley
▪ Lanark Highlands
▪ Mississippi Mills
▪ Montague
▪ Perth
▪ Tay Valley

It also includes two community member representatives jointly approved by the eight municipalities, along with two representatives appointed by the Province.

With the municipal election coming up this year, be sure to watch for postings related to community representation on the Board later this fall.
