The Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) provides policing services for the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Ontario, Canada.

NRPS was established on January 1, 1971 and is the oldest regional police service in Ontario. Its headquarters is located in St. Catharines.

[edit] Organization

The NRPS provides all general policing duties in the region, including patrol of municipal/regional roads and waterways within the region, including the Welland Canal, the Niagara River and Lakes Ontario and Erie. Patrol of provincial highways in the region, such as the Queen Elizabeth Way, is handled by the Ontario Provincial Police, while patrol services on Niagara Parks Commission property is handled by the Niagara Parks Police. The NRPS is, however, mandated to investigate all major crimes in the region, including those that occur on provincial highways or on NPC property.

The Chief of Police is Wendy Southall, who was selected by the Niagara Regional Police Services Board and assumed command in January 2005. She was a thirty year police veteran and served with the Toronto Police Service and the Niagara Regional Police Services Board. Donna Moody and Gary Beaulieu serve as Deputy Chiefs.

The Niagara Regional Police Service is divided into six districts:

Administrative offices are located at 110 James Street in downtown St. Catharines. Auxiliary and support services are located on Cushman Road in St. Catharines.
