Toronto Community Crisis Service

The Toronto Police Service has partnered with the City of Toronto to dispatch Toronto Community Crisis Service (TCCS) staff for people experiencing or witnessing a mental health crisis by calling 2-1-1 or 9-1-1. Appropriate calls for individuals 16 years of age and older will be dispatched based on the call location, dispatch criteria and availability of teams.

The TCCS is a new approach to responding to someone in crisis that focuses on health, prevention and well-being. The service provides an alternative to police response, creating a community-based, client centred, trauma-informed response to non-emergency crisis calls and wellness checks.

This service aims to respond to the needs and desires of the communities most impacted by policing and establish trust and confidence in a new community-based response model.
