Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
A new special rule sets the maximum amount Ontario municipalities must pay for OPP policing services in the 2027 target year. Each municipality will owe the lesser of two figures: the standard formula-calculated amount (adjusted for any 2025 reconciliation items), or 111% of the total monthly accounts they received for 2026 — excluding costs for any optional enhancement services under separate agreements. A parallel update to the reconciliation section confirms that for year-end true-up calculations, the 2027 actual amount owed is defined by this new cap formula plus any separately agreed enhancement service costs for 2027. Municipalities that rely on OPP for policing should review their 2026 monthly account totals, as those figures will directly determine their maximum exposure under this cap.
