Durham Regional Police – Central East Division

The Durham Regional Police – Central East Division serves as the primary law enforcement hub for the City of Oshawa, which is the busiest police jurisdiction in the Durham Region. Located at 77 Centre Street North in downtown Oshawa, the division is responsible for a population of approximately 165,000 residents and handles nearly a quarter of all calls for service across the entire regional police service. The station operates 24 hours a day, providing essential community safety services including emergency response, crime prevention, and victim assistance. Given its location, the division also manages the unique policing needs of a major urban center that houses large institutions like Lakeridge Health and the main campuses of Durham College and Ontario Tech University.
