Municipal Enforcement

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves. The SOSG Municipal Enforcement Unit is a division of Special Operations Service Group, a successful security provider based out of Sarnia, Ontario.

Our goal is to work hand in hand with the local Police service, giving the officers more time to do active investigation and enforcement while leaving the relatively routine tasks of Provincial Offences Enforcement to us.

Starting in January 2002, The Municipal Enforcement Unit began working on a ninety day test program in the Town of Petrolia and in March of 2002, the Town of Petrolia agreed to a contract with the Unit. In this contract, SOSG uses their specially trained Municipal Law Enforcement Officers (who are sworn in by the Municipality) to do routine enforcement of By-Laws and Provincial Offences around the clock.

With each occurrence written you will receive an "Occurrence Report" that will describe in detail the events that led up to the citation being served and anything that is necessary to corroborate the citation (such as video evidence).

Our Video Evidence Program offers conclusive proof of an offence being committed. Our officers are outfitted with a state of the art video system that captures all facets of a situation from the discovery of the offence, to the serving of the citation, our program ensures a higher conviction rating by giving real proof that can be used to help offenders realize they have been caught red handed.

We at the SOSG Municipal Enforcement Unit know that we will be able to fulfill all of your enforcement needs.

Municipal Law Enforcement Officers

To accomplish this role it is necessary for the enforcement personnel to be well trained and highly motivated persons.

Our Officers are very carefully chosen people who must have security or law enforcement training at a post secondary level or have previous employment in the law enforcement or military field. This will ensure that only persons who are motivated, skilled, and career oriented are used to fulfill our client’s needs.

The requirements don’t stop there, SOSG Municipal Enforcement Unit candidates will be required to pass a rigorous training program, which is administered by certified and licensed trainers

The candidates must be irreproachable in character, and they must be able to be bonded. They will be well groomed, personable, competent, and professional.

No personnel of SOSG will be placed on assignment without training and the full knowledge of his/her responsibilities and duties. This is what differentiates the average By-Law Officer from an SOSG Municipal Enforcement Officer.
