Summary

City Council on November 26 and 27, 2019, referred Motion MM12.4 to the Executive Committee.

 

The purpose of this Motion is to request City of Toronto Council's support in requesting the Toronto Police Services Board, through the newly announced neighbourhood officers' program, to establish a Community Police Office in Scarborough-Guildwood at 200 Poplar Road, the former site of Sir Robert Borden Collegiate Institute, as this new neighbourhood officers' program has been created to better serve and enhance community policing.

 

Establishing a Police Office at 200 Poplar Road located on a residential street would serve the Scarborough-Guildwood Community well.

 

Given that the City of Toronto is finalizing the purchase of the former school located at this site, it is an opportunity to enhance the police work in the community.
