Support Services

The Support Services Division is comprised of an Inspector and a team of civilian staff that form the backbone of the Service. These staff are ‘behind the scenes’ in policing, but their work is crucial to the smooth operation of the Service.

  • Court Services perform two functions: Court security and prisoner transportation. Court Services also manages the court caseload and acts as liaison with Criminal Justice partners.
  • Central Records staff manage record keeping duties including the Service’s records management system and the National Police Information Bank (CPIC), warrants, the processing of Police records checks, freedom of information requests and the paid duty officer process.
  • Our Evidence Staff are responsible for receiving, recording, controlling, storing and dispensing with physical and digital evidence, found property, and firearms turned into the Service.
  • Data Entry Clerks are assigned to each platoon and enter all reports, most by voice entry, allowing officers to remain on patrol in their Team Area. These clerks ensure quality control in report completion and Court brief preparation, and reduce officer time spent on administrative duties.
