Ottawa Police Service
The Ottawa Police Service celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2005. The OPS originated in 1855, when the City of Ottawa named Roderick Ross
as the first Chief Constable of the Ottawa Police. Over time, neighboring municipalities also formed their own police forces,
including Eastview in 1913 (which became the Vanier police in 1963) and Gloucester-Nepean in 1957 (in 1964, this service
split into separate Nepean and Gloucester forces).
As a precursor to future amalgamations, the Vanier Police was absorbed
by the Ottawa Police in 1984.
In 1995, the Ottawa, Nepean and Gloucester police forces amalgamated to form the Ottawa-Carleton Regional Police Service.
The service area of the new force was extended to those portions of Ottawa-Carleton that had previously been policed by the
Ontario Provincial Police.
The service was given its current name in 2001, to reflect the amalgamation of Ottawa-Carleton's constituent municipalities
into the new City of Ottawa.
