Published purpose

The program enables the City of Ottawa to seek financial assistance from the Government of Canada, through a contribution agreement (April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2025), for eligible extraordinary, reasonable and justifiable policing costs incurred in relation to policing duties specific to the Nation’s Capital. PSEP funding would help ensure that the City has the resources to support the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) to provide for safe and secure extraordinary events in an evolving and complex policing environment. The objectives of the program fall within the Department’s policy objectives to promote the safety and security of Canadian communities and institutions by recognizing the unique policing environment created by the presence of federal landmarks, institutions, and events of national significance in the Nation’s Capital.
