Very interesting. Just discovered the site. I served in Peterborough and Cobourg, 1954 to 1964. Love to hear from anyone from that era. 

I have wanted to be a cop for as long as i can remember and viewing this sites helps with my choice. Next year I will be attending police foundations in Brockville Ont and I was wondering if you had any pointers on how to be a successful police officer. Thank you kindly Brian 

I'm from Red Lake, and worked with PC Lee Morris on the marine patrol the summer of 1988. Wondering where he is stationed now. Thanks-Darlene Richter-nee Troyer.

This is a fantastic website! I was quite impressed to see all of the positive feedback and remarks. My husband is an O.P.P. Officer for the Huronia West Detachment. I am hoping to be a Provincial Constable just like him. I am currently testing for my C.O.R. Some day soon I will stand proud just as he, to be a part of such a well respected Police Service! Take Care Everyone. 

"The Firefighters!"~~~ In the battle against the beastly fire... They stay together, ready to fight! To help all the victims of every accident, committed to rescue, by day and by night. These are the courageous Firefighters, In their cities and towns of every land. They stand together as really true friends, Routinely they're all working hand in hand. Everyone of them looks after the other, Their brotherhood knows no borders...! They are ready to help in their unselfish way, Without fear, they follow their orders! Many of them gave their lives in New York, On September the eleventh, two thousand and one...! Firefighters everywhere will remember that day, And their feelings of loss will never be gone. Written by Hartmut Reinsch © (German-Canadian homeland poet) Toronto, CANADA ~ Sept. 16th 2001 May we always remember their sacrifice, in their quest to help and save the lives of innocent victims, on that tragic day of Sept. 11. 2001 in New York City, USA. ~A word after..., from "ground zero!"~ What we are left with , surrounded by death and fear, is our sense of loyalty and of duty... Which calls upon us to place a shining beacon of hope in this world, and to entrust the universal darkness to the light of God. ~ H. Reinsch. Toronto 2001 ~ With my Tribute above, that is intended to honor all firefighters, I like to let my "American neighbors" know..., that we "Canadians" are standing beside you in your time of grief and at all times in the future!

Looking for sr const. Joe poddsky (close) he worked on the budget with me in 1993 from thunder bay detachment. Can anyone help me. 

I wish to drop a note and let you folks know what an outstanding job you are doing as part of our service and protection industry. As a health care professional who has daily contact with the members of the opp, primarily through the regional sexual assault and domestic viloence program I am continually surprised by your level of professionalism and compassion. Although no longer a member of the team I would specifically like to commend Officer(I'm sure his title has changed) Mark Loader of the London-St. Thomas detachment. He is an exemplarary member of the force and only hope he will remain in our area and continue to be a positive influence in the community. 

I am a Police Officer in Upstate New York USA. I enjoyed loooking over your site. I have relatives in Ompah/Perth area and visit 2-3 times per year. Good Bless and Stay Safe!  

I would like to get the attention of all OPP retirees. I recently made a presentation at #1 District Meeting requesting that a Retiree be appointed to each branch executive so we could have some say into matters that relate to us. I've been retiired since 1985 and an OPPA member since 1954 (one of the first). Would the retirees back me up when they attend their next meeting of the OPPA. The best to you all and a Great Day and A Better Tomorrow.

HI Just retired after 33 plus yrs with the OPP. Hope to hear from some of the old and not so members 

Great to see your web site. I am a Canadian living in Southern Calif. For the past 3 yrs. I grew up in Cobourg, Ontario and my late uncle - Lyle Erskine was an Inspector with the OPP and retired from the Peterborough detachment. I always respected the job that the OPP officers have done. I worked for Corrections Ontario for a number of years and know the type of people that police officers of all areas sometimes have to face. All best wishes.  

Excellent site. Has anyone knowledge of a Roger Bevan, ex Somerset and Bath Police who left UK in 70's for Canada and joined OPP. He was stationed at Weston super Mare Traffic Department prior to leaving.  

Today, upon reading the news paper and watching the news on television, i was proud ... To all the men and women out there, good job and work carefully. 

Hello, I am an OPP recruit, tentatively scheduled to attend OPC in April. I am looking to get in touch with soon-to-be, serving or retired members of the force who have LL.B. degrees. I graduated from Queen's Law not too long ago, and I am interested in hearing from officers who have combined their interest in policing with their educational back- grounds. Thanks, Mike
