The Durham Regional Police Service is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. We invite all our citizens to engage and learn more about their police service. This site features our history and information about our Chiefs and the evolution of our Service including links to our most recent strategic plan.
We invite our community including our cherished retirees to submit content from the last 50 years or check our events page throughout the year. We will be hosting a large community event on June 15, 2024 at Iroquois Park in Whitby and hope you will be able to join us.
