AMO's OPP Billing Steering Committee : Association of Municipalities of Ontario's Ontario Provincial Police Billing Steering Committee : final report

The Steering Committee then reviewed a range of alternative options to the OPP’s proposal to use the number of households to calculate the Base Cost part of the bill to be sent to each municipality. [...] To maintain the respect of the community, the economics of policing need to reflect the economic capacity of society. [...] It is the intent of the OPP to respond to the recommendation of the AG and demonstrate that it is making a less complex and more transparent billing model for 2015. [...] Also addressed in the AG report was the issue of billing methodology namely that it was, “complex and onerous for both the force and municipalities.”4 The report also noted the disparity in billing created by the current system. [...] By the fourth meeting of the Steering Committee, all the models reviewed used the 60- 40 split of Base Costs to Calls for Service, as to date, this is the ratio closer to the current work up of the OPP.
