Dryden Council Votes To Switch To Provincial Police

The City of Dryden will be losing its municipal police force. Council voted 6-1 in favour of switching to Provincial Police Monday night. Shayne MacKinnon was the only one in favour of keeping the Dryden Police Service. Dryden Council, led by Mayor Greg Wilson, directed staff in October 26, 2020, to request an OPP Costing Proposal. That resulted in presentations from the City Force, OPP, the consultant, and a public meeting. This followed a similar request in June, 2017. The same Council at that time voted 6-1 against the OPP Proposal. This time around those in favour pointed to yearly savings of roughly $1.1 million once the three year transition is completed, an increased compliment of officers and a more coordinated police approach.
