The Municipality of Lakeshore contracts with the Ontario Provincial Police for police protection within the community.
The Essex County OPP Detachment – North is a joint detachment board between the three communities of the Town of Essex, Town of Tecumseh, and Municipality of Lakeshore.
Beginning April 1, 2024, the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA, 2019) in Ontario will replace the Police Services Act, 1990. As a result, the Essex Police Services Board will be dissolved, and the board for the Essex County OPP Detachment – North will be established.
