How Can I Help

Crime Stoppers

Toronto Crime Stoppers is a partnership between the community, the Toronto Police Service and the media. It provides members of the public the opportunity to anonymously provide information which assists police in solving crimes.
 

Online Reporting

Community members can file an online report for instances like damage to property, local traffic issues, graffiti, lost property and more.
 

Make the Right Call

It is important to make the right call at the right time, to get the service you need.

Knowing when to call 3-1-1 Toronto, 2-1-1 Central, the police non-emergency line at 416-808-2222 or emergency 9-1-1 line will ensure you get the right help at the right time.
 

Auxiliary Officer Program

Auxiliary Officers are volunteers who support the Toronto Police Service in delivering crime prevention programs, and assist at large-scale events such as parades and operational call-outs in search of missing people.

Wearing a full uniform, the more than 300 Auxilaries provide a highly visible presence in Toronto neighbourhoods and major events that people can rely on for information and for help.
 

Adult & Youth Volunteer Program

The Adult & Youth Volunteer Program is a Toronto Police Service initiative designed to build a working relationship between the public and the police. We aim to attract volunteers who are motivated to work actively within their community and represent the Toronto police in both a pleasant and professional manner. Entry into this program is very competitive and it attracts a large amount of applicants each year. The Adult and Youth Volunteer Program (A.Y.V.P.) assigns volunteers to work alongside the Community Safety Response Unit officers at their local police station.
 

Community Policing Liaison Program (CPLC)

All of the police divisions throughout the City of Toronto, including Traffic Services, have a CPLC to provide advice and assistance to the local unit commander and to work in partnership with local police officers towards improving safety and security in local communities.

The goal of the CPLC is to work together in identifying, prioritizing and problem-solving local policing issues by being proactive in community relations, crime prevention, education, mobilization, and communication.
 

Community Consultative Committees

Community Consultative Committees (CCC) establish a process that affords opportunities for enhanced community safety involving community based activities, leadership opportunities, mutual exchange of information and the development of joint problem solving initiative to serve and represent specific communities throughout Toronto. The membership is drawn from various organizations within each of these communities, and serves as a voice on wider policing issues such as training, recruiting, professional standards, and community mobilization. Each CCC is co-chaired by a senior TPS member and community member.
