Policing in Ontario

1. What are the different types of police forces we have in Ontario and how do they differ and how are they the same?

In Ontario, we have three different types of police forces. They are the municipal which are the numbered divisions within a city, provincial which is the Ontario Provincial Police, and federal which is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The OSOR basically is a system containing information on the whereabouts of convicted, dangerous, and high-risk sexual predators.
