ADEQUATE AND EFFECTIVE POLICING (GENERAL) — under the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
The regulation's definition of "Extreme Incident Response Plan" has been updated to reference the September 2025 version of that document, replacing the previous November 2023 version. Police services across Ontario are required to follow this plan when responding to extreme incidents such as mass casualty events, critical infrastructure threats, or serious protests. The amendment also adds source citations to three existing subsections but makes no substantive changes to the rules those subsections contain. Police services and their boards should ensure they are consulting and planning against the current September 2025 version of the Extreme Incident Response Plan available on the Ontario government website.
