The Shelburne Police Service (SPS) was the police force for the Town of Shelburne, Ontario, Canada. It was established in 1879 and consisted of 23 members, including 15 police officers, 4 auxiliary police officers, 2 civilian support members. These members provided emergency responses to approximately 8500 residents, responding to more than 4000 calls per year.
Members worked out of Shelburne Town Hall located at 203 Main Street, East in Shelburne, Ontario.
After 141 years of service the Shelburne Police Department was replaced by the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.), a decision that had been weighing over the town for some time. Town council decided to make the change to the OPP after two separate cost estimates.
In February 2021, the shift to the OPP took place, with staffing based out of the O.P.P Primrose Detachment.
The shift to the OPP will take place February 2021 in the town of Shelburne and staffing will be based out of the O.P.P. Primrose Detachment.
