Criminal record checks have been trans- ferred back to detachments while the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) sets up a new online system in the wake of heavy demand. The OPP stopped accepting online appli- cations on Friday afternoon. High demand for background checks had pushed the process- ing time out to between four and six weeks. From Monday, October 5, anyone who had not already submitted a request online was required to book an appointment with their local detachment. In a statement, the OPP said this detachment system would be in place temporarily until “an enhanced online central intake and payment model” was set up. In a statement, the OPP said only the exact cost of the check-in cash would be accepted. A criminal record check for employment purposes is $41 and checks for volunteer purposes are free. Duplicate copies cost $11, while an additional $90 was required for fingerprints. “The OPP understands the change in process may cause inconvenience. However , it is confident that new measures taken to improve processing times will lead to shorter wait times for the public.” “Third party vendors may be able to offer a reduced timeline. Please speak to your employer/agency to ascertain if this option would be acceptable, noting there is a cost for this service.”
Les demandes de vérification de casier judiciaire de la Police provinciale de l’Ontario (PPO) devront être faites directement en personne dans les détachements jusqu’à ce qu’un nouveau système en ligne soit mis au point. — photo d’archives PREPARE FOR WINTER DRIVING URGES OPP

the statement said. “The Ontario Provincial Police encourages all motorists to practice safe and courteous driving habits to reduce the risk of preventable winter collisions.” Other safety tips included giving yourself more time to reach your destination, main- taining windshield wiper fluids and keeping a spare container in the vehicle, driving according to the conditions, and braking sooner to avoid the risk of a spin-out. Motorists were also encouraged to swap all-season tires out for winter tires. “The tread compound used in all-season tires of- fers little cold weather traction and becomes hard, losing pliability and traction in freezing temperatures,” the OPP statement said. i8JOUFS UJSFT IPXFWFS BSFEFTJHOFE UP help deliver safety and control in snow, slush, rain, ice and cold weather. The stopping distance of a car with winter tires can be up to 30 to 40 per cent shorter than one with all-season tires.”
As the first snow of the season hits the region, police have reminded motorists to be careful in wintry conditions. Brief snow showers hit the region on an otherwise rainy Monday morning. The rest of the week was expected to be relatively clear and snow-free, but the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have asked drivers to prepare for the colder weather ahead. Speed, visibility, and following distances were key to staying safe as the temperature dropped. In a statement, the OPP warned of fines for not adequately cleaning snow and ice off windows, the windshield, mirrors, and lights before taking to the road. “A buildup of snow on your vehicle and/or a foggy or iced over windshield or windows can drastically reduce your visibility and cause a traffic hazard to other motorists,”
