Offence Management Bureau

The Offence Management Bureau (OMB) is responsible for processing the statements of offence issued by the Kativik Regional Police Force and by-law enforcement officers. Whenever a municipal by-law or a section of the Highway Safety Code is broken, the accused individual has 30 days to inform the OMB or the Northern village if he pleads guilty to the violation and to pay the set fine. If the individual pleads not guilty or fails to forward his plea before the deadline, the OMB transfers the file to the Court of Québec so that the case may be tried.
