DVP, Allen & Gardiner are Toronto Police. Every other highway is OPP.

However unlike TV you can be pursued from one juristiction to another, it is not Dukes of Hazard where you "cross the county line". That said they will radio ahead for local police representation.

Local police will use OPP highways to get from A to B but aren't "on patrol". If they see something illegal they are obligued by law to respond. In practical terms they will not pull you over for "normal" speeding.
