Helicopter and Canine Unit commenced a late afternoon search for a missing Toronto man in the Lasswade area . The missing man was with another man around 9 a.m. when the two parted company walking in different directions. One man went partridge hunting, while the missing man went for a hike. He did not return from his hike. Despite being an experienced hiker, there was increasing concern for the man's welfare as he is not familiar with the area and was not dressed appropriately. The hiker was located around 4:45 p.m. the same afternoon. He came out to a home located approximately one - half a kilometre from where he started his hike. |
| Bill Dulmage, Community Policing One of the problems that we hear on a regular basis at the Community Police Office, is, that with all of the numbers available these days to contact the OPP, people just don't know which number to call. There are at least 4 or 5 numbers that you can use depending on what you need. It's confusing. Maybe we can help to clear up some of that confusion.
Bottom Line: In an emergency call 911. For most other situations call 1-888-310-1122 unless it is during normal office hours or is administrative in nature in which case call 742-0401. How to contact the Police EMERGENCY (POLICE/FIRE/AMBULANCE) 911 OPP Communications Centre 1 (888) 310 1122 OPP from a Cell Phone *677 (Star OPP) OPP Peterborough Detachment 742-0401 The Community Policing Office in Apsley 656-4431 Keep these numbers near your phone. |
