Ontario Provincial Police take over Chapleau policing in 1967 with Ron Lewis in charge of detachment

Ron Lewis
The Ontario Provincial Police took over policing of Chapleau on March 20, 1967 with Corporal Ron Lewis in charge of the detachment.

Since 1885 when the community was established, law enforcement had been more or less a local responsibility, according to Vince Crichton in 'Pioneering in Northern Ontario' but "authentic data" on early law enforcement was lost because no information had been kept.

But the police force evolved with a succession of chiefs and constables until 1967 when the Chief Jim Collings and two constables resigned.
