The Barrie Police Service responds to all 9-1-1 EMERGENCY calls which require police assistance within the City of Barrie.
911 is for EMERGENCY purposes only.
COMMUNICATIONS PERSONNEL
Our Communications Clerks are expected to handle a variety of unusual situations in a professional manner. They are provided with training, both in Barrie and at the Ontario Police College, to assist them with their task.
Many years ago, the Service opted to assign Communications Clerks to a platoon, so that they are part of a team. As such, they know the police officers who are their colleagues, and efficiency and effectiveness are enhanced in the process.
Whether it be a 9-1-1 emergency, a non-emergency situation requiring police assistance, or a self-reporting situation, our Communications Clerks will provide you with the information necessary to deal with the situation.

This 9-1-1 Emergency Service is available in the City of Barrie.
