History
In 1988 the Policing Services Division was established within the Ministry of the Solicitor General, its functions having previously performed by the Ontario Police Commission.
The Division originally consisted of four branches - the Police Support Programs Branch, the Intelligence Services Branch, the Standards and New Programs Branch, and the Ontario Police College.
While the structure of the Division has remained relatively stable since 1988, the Police Support Programs Branch and the Standards and New Programs Branch were removed in 1999; the functions were assumed by the Police Support Services Branch. In 2002, the Division assumed the functions of the Private Investigators and Securities Branch.
