Arson Section
Arson is not a victimless crime!
The Ottawa Police Arson Section is a unique section in that it works off-site, in partnership with its primary partner, the Ottawa Fire Service. 
Once the Fire Investigators determine that the cause of the fire was Incendiary(Arson) the investigation becomes the responsibility of the Ottawa Police Arson unit. Depending on the scope of the investigation the Arson Unit will work in conjunction with both investigators from the Fire Service as well as the Office of the Fire Marshal, the provincial body responsible for fire investigation. The City of Ottawa is at the forefront in this field of criminal investigation.
