-Provide support to regional and detachment commanders to facilitate maintenance of existing Section 10 PSA contracts through regualr liaison with municipal authorities, provision of guidance and advice, policy direction and training in regards to contract requirements.
-Serve as the centre of excellence respecting the Contract Policing Program and respond to requests for information from municipalities, civillian governance authorities (e.g. Ontario Association of Police Services Boards), ministries, regions and detachments in regard to issues related to both the provision of contract and non-contract OPP municipal policing services.
-In concert with detachment, region and GHQ stakeholders develop, track and invoice 911 Central Emergency Reporting Bureau services, specialized and support services contracts supporting municipal police services, and develop and track reciprocal Framework Agreements in support of adequate and effective policing across Ontario
