Welcome to the Peterborough Police Service

Our Service has been in existence since 1850 and today our members, sworn, civilian and auxiliary, proudly serve the City of Peterborough, the Ward of Lakefield and Township of Cavan Monaghan in a Professional, Friendly and Helpful manner.

The focus of our Service is community policing. Collaborating and engaging with our community remains at the very core of what we do each and every day.

Policing is not done in isolation. As Sir Robert Peel stated in 1829, “The police are the public and the public are the police.” We rely heavily on this interdependent relationship and your ongoing support with respect to sharing information, participating in crime prevention initiatives and reporting crime.

Our website offers an opportunity to learn more about our Service but also provides an avenue to report a non-emergency crime, register a vulnerable person or request a bicycle license.

We also encourage you to browse through our 2024 Annual Report that is now available on our site. This report highlights the incredible work that is being done by our members, sworn and civilian, every day.

Our ability to gain feedback and input is critical for us to continue to be one of the most effective, efficient and economical police services in Ontario. To share your comments please visit the “Comment” section of our website.

We look forward to hearing from you as to what your concerns are and continuing to build on our history of excellence.

Thank you for visiting our site and visit often.

Keeping you Informed

Communicating with the media and the community is important in ensuring that the Peterborough Police Service remains accountable, transparent and responsive to the public we serve. Our Service is committed to providing the media with accurate and timely information while complying with all applicable legislation relating to Young Offenders and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Each year our Service issues hundreds of media releases on a variety of subjects ranging from serious incidents to crime prevention and safety messages. Along with the more traditional forms of media, our Service is keeping our citizens informed and up-to-date via Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn and YouTube.
