Peel Regional Police Headquarters – Mississauga, ON

Central Administration and Police Records Services

The Peel Regional Police Headquarters, situated at 7150 Mississauga Road, serves as the administrative nerve center for one of Canada’s largest municipal police services. This sprawling facility houses the executive leadership, including the Chief of Police, as well as critical support bureaus that keep the service running efficiently. While it is not a patrol division for reporting day-to-day crimes, Headquarters is the primary destination for residents of Mississauga and Brampton requiring administrative police services, most notably Police Record Checks. The building represents the strategic core of the organization, coordinating operations, finance, human resources, and professional standards across the entire Region of Peel.

Records Checks and Public Services

One of the most frequent reasons for the public to visit Headquarters is to access the Records Search Unit. This department processes applications for various background checks required for employment, volunteering, or travel. Residents can apply for a Criminal Record Check, Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check, or a Vulnerable Sector Check. While the service strongly advocates for the convenience of its online application portal, the Headquarters facility provides in-person services for those who need them or require fingerprinting. Additionally, the Freedom of Information (FOI) office is located here, handling requests for access to police reports and other records under provincial privacy legislation. Visitors should note that this location operates during standard business hours and does not function as a 24/7 emergency response centre.

• Background Checks: Processing of criminal record checks for employment and volunteer positions.
• Fingerprinting Services: Digital fingerprinting for record suspension, immigration, and vulnerable sector verification (by appointment).
• Freedom of Information: Processing formal requests for police reports and incident data.
• Legal Services: Acceptance of legal documents and subpoenas for the police service.
• Recruiting: Information and interviews for prospective police constables and civilian staff.

Location and Visitor Information

Headquarters is located in the northern part of Mississauga, near the intersection of Mississauga Road and Derry Road West. The site is easily accessible from Highway 401 and is serviced by MiWay public transit. The facility features a large free parking lot for visitors. Upon entering, all visitors must pass through security screening and present valid government-issued identification at the front desk. The environment is professional and business-oriented. It is important to distinguish this facility from a divisional station; if you need to report a crime or speak to an officer about a neighbourhood issue, you should contact or visit your local division (such as 11 or 12 Division) instead. Headquarters is strictly for administrative processing and high-level organizational management.

Specialized Units

Beyond public records, the Headquarters building is home to several specialized investigative and support units that operate region-wide. These include the Fraud Bureau, which investigates complex financial crimes, the Special Victims Unit, and the Homicide and Missing Persons Bureau. While these units are based here, they typically work by appointment or through referrals from frontline officers. The centralization of these resources ensures a coordinated approach to major crime and public safety strategy across the region. For general inquiries or to reach a specific bureau, the public can utilize the main switchboard or the automated attendant.
