Privacy and Access
The Halton Police Board is subject to the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). The Halton Police Board endeavors to make its information accessible to the public. Some records, however, contain information that is either privileged, protected or of a personal nature. MFIPPA compels the Halton Police Board to review such documents prior to their disclosure. A request to access such records requires a written request to the Halton Police Board Information Privacy Officer.
Senders of messages should be aware that personal and other information contained in electronic correspondence (or printed versions thereof) which are directed to the Halton Police Board are subject to MFIPPA, become records of the Board, and may be deemed to be accessible to members of the public under the law. Therefore, the anonymity or confidentiality of the sender and any information contained within any such correspondence cannot be guaranteed. Electronic messages resident on a system outside those of those domain names owned by the Halton Police Board, but deemed to be in the custody and control of the Halton Police Board, may also be accessible under MFIPPA.
Concerns regarding privacy or access to information should be directed to:
The Halton Police Board
1151 Bronte Road
Oakville, ON L6M 3L1
The Government of Ontario maintains a website with free access to MFIPPA and other legislation at https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90m56.
