The Staff Sergeant of the OPP on Manitoulin says he had no input at all on determining where the OPP will setup a new building. Earlier, the province announced nine new buildings were going up in Ontario to replace OPP facilities that are at the end of their usefulness. In the case of Manitoulin, Little Current is the site for the new building. According to the Manitoulin Expositor, Staff Sergeant Kevin Webb says Infrastructure Ontario decided all the locations. Webb says he had input on saying what officers needed and what the building could look like but he had no say on where it goes. Members of the Manitoulin Community Policing Advisory Council believe the new building should be more centrally located on the Island. The Expositor says Webb suggested council call Infrastructure Ontario and ask why there was no local input on the building’s location.
