Protective Services
Safety The City of Pembroke is protected by two protection forces: The Pembroke Police and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). Municipally administered, the Pembroke Police Service provides 24-hour security services. The OPP are responsible for enforcing both federal and provincial laws in the Pembroke district. Historically, Pembroke’s crime rate has been low. Due to the nature of Pembroke’s close knit business and residential communities, Neighborhood Watch, and Block Parent programs are found to be successful in augmenting the resources of the local police system.
