This location was once the home to the Ontario Provincial Police detachment for the township of West Carleton. It is now a community police centre for the Ottawa Police Service.
These centres are described on the police service web site as follows.
Community Police Centres (CPCs) are an essential part of the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) partnership philosophy and strive to be:
a primary focal point for problem solving in their assigned neighbourhoods;
a primary location of the community crime prevention initiatives and partnerships; and,
a hub for information dissemination and referrals.
The Community Police Centre (CPC) mission is:
To provide an opportunity for the public to learn about the role of the OPS in their local communities.
To provide an important and direct link between the community and the OPS, creating an opportunity for ongoing communications between community members and police.
To provide opportunities for police officers to increase their involvement with the communities they serve.
To create mechanisms through which the OPS can consult with communities in an effort to create or adapt its services to meet the needs of the communities it serves.

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
