Summary

The Ministry of the Solicitor General (the ministry) is committed to ensuring that all Ontario’s communities are kept safe. To fulfill its mandate, the ministry’s responsibilities are divided into two distinct parts: community safety and correctional services.

The ministry, as part of its Community Safety mandate is responsible for establishing province-wide police standards, police oversight and supporting crime prevention initiatives at a local and provincial level. It is responsible for maintaining the physical and economic security of Ontario by coordinating public safety initiatives among municipal, fire and emergency services. It oversees the governance and licensing of private security and is directly responsible for Ontario’s animal welfare enforcement system.

Within the Correctional services’ mandate, the ministry operates a safe, effective and accountable corrections system that includes correctional facilities and probation and parole offices across the province. It is responsible for the safety and well-being of correctional services staff and those on remand or serving a custodial or community sentence. The ministry is directly responsible for a number of organizations that contribute to community safety including the Ontario Provincial Police, the Office of the Chief Coroner, the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service, the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management, and the Anti-Racism Directorate. The ministry also delivers training for first responders and frontline staff through the Correctional Services Recruitment & Training Centre, the Ontario Fire College and the Ontario Police College.

Correctional Services Program - vote 2605

The Ministry of the Solicitor General is committed to reforming Ontario’s adult correctional system to increase efficiency, enhance long-term outcomes, and improve the experience of our frontline staff. This will be achieved by using technology to automate and digitize business processes, providing alternatives to incarceration, developing resources to better support staff, and implementing governance and review mechanisms. The reform of Ontario’s Correctional Services will contribute to creating an integrated, efficient and sustainable criminal justice system that supports prevention and successful reintegration, while protecting public safety.
