Delta Police Policies and Procedures

Delta Police Department (“DPD”) policies are provided for public access, in accordance with Section 70 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (“FOIPPA”).

The FOIPPA permits law enforcement agencies to redact policy sections in certain circumstances, including where disclosure could reasonably be expected to harm a law enforcement matter or the effectiveness of investigative techniques and procedures. Redacted sections are identified within the relevant policies.

Policies are revised by the DPD as required and in accordance with internally established review periods, and updated versions of policies will be published on this page intermittently.
