The Caledon detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is proud to announce and welcome its new detachment commander, Insp. Natalie Majer.

As a former board member of the Ontario Women in Law Enforcement (OWLE) and member of the International Association of Women Police (IAWP), she has championed initiatives that promote equity and empower women in policing.
Insp. Majer's commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace extends to her involvement with the OPP Central Region Steering Committee for Women Igniting Change (WIC) Member Support Network, a group focused on driving positive change and gender equity within the organization.

Her leadership and dedication reflect the values of inclusivity and equity that continue to shape the future of policing, as the OPP recognizes the accomplishments of its women veterans and current members, while empowering the next generation through recruitment and mentorship.
In addition to her professional achievements, Insp. Majer has demonstrated leadership in the broader community through her work on charity campaigns within the OPS, including her roles with United Way and Federated Health Charities.
