The Manitoulin OPP has a new state-of-the-art detachment.
Originally, a grand opening of the new Manitoulin OPP detachment located on Boosneck Road in Little Current was to be held, but with COVID-19, a soft opening was held yesterday.
Outfitted with advanced technology and state-of-the-art policing equipment, the new $20 million facility will ensure local OPP personnel have the tools and space needed to deliver policing services.
It has nearly 18,000 square feet of space, a modern infrastructure design to support ever-changing technology requirements, five holding cells, secure evidence areas, as well as closed-circuit television technology and other advanced security features.
The new detachment replaces the one located at 12 Campbell Road East, which closes today.
Other satellite offices, including the Espanola detachment, will continue to be maintained.
