There were no jurisdictional issues.
In fairness, though, it was the chief and his deputy who made the bulk of the calls to their counterparts. I spoke to a number of mayors, in most instances to thank them, because they had already pre-committed to the chief. From that perspective, we were grateful those municipal police forces came about.
There was no need for any swearing-in of Ontario municipal police services, but there was a requirement for us to swear in RCMP officers, because they did not have the jurisdiction on municipal matters in Ottawa. Of course, the OPP did not have to swear in, as they are the provincial service.
