The LPS enforces federal statutes including the Criminal Code, provincial offences such as the Highway Traffic Act, as well as local municipal by-laws. Policing in Ontario is governed by the Police Services Act, which grants officers province-wide jurisdiction, though services only operate within their mandated geographical area.
