Summary

Since the 1970s, there have been a number of key events that influenced the evolution of emergency response services in the OPP, and generally in police services across Ontario. These include the 1976 Olympics, Coroner’s Jury Verdicts in the province, the Ontario Police Commission’s Inquiry into tactical units (Drinkwalter), the introduction of Provincial Adequacy Standards, and events around and following the Ipperwash incident. The OPP’s integrated response to high-risk incidents has evolved over many years, driven largely by best practices established through lessons learned from experiences at highrisk incidents. Other factors include the OPP’s adoption of best practices used by other police services, and action taken on recommendations from internal reviews of OPP emergency response service programs. The current OPP Integrated Response approach reflects recognized best practices in law enforcement, which will no doubt continue to evolve. .
