Auxiliary Officers

      Formed in July of 1977, the Auxiliary Unit is comprised of every day citizens from all walks of life. People who felt it necessary that they become an integral and fundamental part of their police service by means of contributing to their community. Members of our Unit take pride in serving the more than 600,000 residents who live in the 2,471 square kilometres of Durham Region.
      The Unit is supervised by a member of the regular service. This officer acts as the liaison between the Auxiliary Unit and the regular service. They report to the Chief of Police throughout the year with pertinent statistics. This information is forwarded to the Police Services Board on a regular basis.
