History
The Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services was formed on February 3, 1993, from the merging of the Ministry of the Solicitor General with the Ministry of Correctional Services.
The Ministry consists of six primary divisions - Corporate Services, Correctional Services, Information Resources, Policing Services, Public Safety, and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
In 1997, however, the Corporate Services Division and the Information Resources Division, were replaced with the Integrated Justice Corporate Services Division and the Integrated Justice Technology Division, respectively.
The various jails, detention centres, treatment centres and young offenders facilities in Ontario are administered by the Ministry through the Correctional Services Division.
Agencies which reported to the Ministry include the Animal Care Review Board, the Coroners Council, the Fire Code Commission, the Ontario Board of Parole, the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services, and the Ontario Police Arbitration Commission.
In 1999, the Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services was divided into the Ministry of the Solicitor General and the Ministry of Correctional Services.
