OPP under siege from mould

Paris Star - Ontario, Canada*

Posted By Cate Breaugh

The OPP Detachment headquarters on Mechanic Street is under siege-

from mould.

An air quality test carried out by the Ontario Environment and

Safety Network recently yielded the information that three types of

mould are present in the building's basement. The mould is not a

serious threat to OPP personal.

" The county did an inspection and we are waiting for a schedule from

the company that was selected to remediate the situation, " OPP

Detachment Commander Dave Durant told Police Services Board members

last week. While the mould is being removed, files and firearms that

are normally stored in the basement will have to be moved, he

explained.

Meanwhile, the county's OPP accommodations committee continues to

work on a plan to re-house the detachment since the Mechanic Street

building is too small.
