The administration of the Lac des Deux-Montagnes Police Board may not be as visible as its policing services, but it is just as important, as it ensures that its police officers can carry out their daily missions. Four executive assistants, one archivist and two receptionists work daily under the direction of Yvon Lemelin, who ensures that administrative activities unfold smoothly while assuming the role of secretary-treasurer of the Board.
This team manages the accounting, sees to technical and material needs, and handles all related requests resulting from a report (requests for information from the Direction of Youth Protection and other police forces, access to information, etc.).
It also supplies the “Centre de renseignements policiers du Québec” (CRPQ – Québec Police Information Centre) and ensures strict follow-up on mandates, fingerprinting and the management of evidence.

He completed his Masters of Business Administration (MBA) for real estate executives in 2000 and has held financial and administrative management positions in the fields of real estate management and private education since that time. He joined le Service de police régionale de Deux-Montagnes November 2014 as the administrative director in order to assist in the transition to the police service’s current structure.
Senior staff consists of the Board’s director, the chief police inspector and the chief investigative inspector. Inspectors ensure the efficient and professional operation of their respective departments. The director oversees the coherent operation of the police force as a whole. This team’s mission is to ensure that the Board provides the community with services that are competent, professional, and reliable.
