Welcoming New Officers to Policiing

Welcoming new police constables to the Toronto Police family is one of Chief Myron Demkiw’s favourite parts of his job, relishing his latest opportunity to present badges to 92 new officers at the graduation ceremony on May 29 at the Toronto Police College. “Every time I hand out a new badge, I can feel the energy, the pride and the dedication to service,” said Demkiw. “The dedication to service is more important than ever. In a world with a lot of uncertainty right now, we need people we can trust, people who are ready to step up for something bigger than themselves, people like you. “Although you come from different backgrounds, you all share one thing in common and that is your compassion and your selfless desire to serve your communities. Thank you for stepping up.”
