#LambtonOPP had a fantastic time today at Emergency Preparedness Day 2026 at Lambton College in Sarnia. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to speak with officers, explore the displays, and learn more about emergency preparedness and community safety. It was a privilege to be joined by the #WROPP MSU and the OPP Cyber Strategy team, who spoke with attendees about cyber safety and online awareness. “Be Prepared.

#OxfordOPP is always grateful and amazed at the creativity and generosity of groups in @OxfordCounty This group has hosted a #Cranking Day for the past few years in @TownIngersoll to make #IzzyDolls These dolls are donated to First Responders to hand out to comfort children facing a trauma or loss. Cranking in knitting refers to the rapid, repetitive motion of turning a handle on a circular knitting machine to produce fabric. This group "cranked with care" for hours to supply more dolls to comfort children in need. #grateful #helpinghands #hobbiewithheart ^rc
