Accessibility Standards

The Barrie Police Service is committed to following the intent of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) to improve opportunities and services for people with disabilities. To this end, members of the Barrie Police Service understand the importance of responsive public services that enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities and will continue to develop strategies and programs that facilitate access to policing services.
