About the OPPA and History of the OPPA
Welcome to the Ontario Provincial Police Association (OPPA) web site.

The OPPA represents all civilian and non-commissioned uniform members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) on labour and contractual issues. Employees of the OPP holding the rank of Inspector and other senior supervisory roles are represented by the Commissioned Officers Associations (COA).

There are approximately 5,579 uniform members and 2,626 civilian members who belong to the Association.

The OPPA was officially incorporated as a non-profit organization on March 3, 1954. Throughout its existence the OPPA's philosophy has been "rights and responsibilities, shared by all” and to advance the interests of its members in every manner.

While collective bargaining and labour contract administration are a priority for the Association, an equally important role for the Association is to promote a healthy and safe work environment for all members.

The Association, the largest single Police Association of its kind in Canada, also presents policy briefs and lobbies Municipal, Provincial and Federal Governments to ensure the voice of front-line members is heard.
