The northern boundary of Peel Regional Police's responsible area is the Town of Caledon's and City of Brampton's townline. Therefore Caledon is under the responsibility of Ontario Provincial Police. The village of Snelgrove (within the boundary of the Caledon), however, is within Peel Regional Police's jurisdiction.

Policing on 400-series highways (like King's Highways 407 ETR, 403, 410) are in the jurisdiction of the Ontario Provincial Police. Peel Police patrol the Peel section of Highway 409 leading to the airport.
