Meet Our New Chief Superintendents

The Toronto Police Service Board has approved the rank title change for all Staff Superintendents to Chief Superintendents to align with the Community Safety and Policing Act (CSPA) as they welcomed four officers for promotion to the new rank.

Chief Superintendent is the rank between Superintendent and Deputy Chief and is used by both the Ontario Provincial Police and Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
