Community safety is our priority. These cameras provide us with critical information to support investigations and strengthen our response to incidents. Together with our partners at @CityBrampton, we’re committed to using innovative technology to support the work of our officers and enhance public safety.

I was in Caledon yesterday to welcome @407ETR’s $5 million donation to @RunnymedeHC, supporting the construction of two new specialized treatment facilities in Toronto and Caledon.

This investment will help expand access for first responders to integrated care, improve outcomes and support long-term recovery.

The Peel Police Foundation marked a major milestone and positively impacted the lives of so many with its first-ever funding allocation: @BGCPeel, @EveryMind_CA, Free For All Community Services, @OurPlacePeel, @RootsCSPeel, and @SevaFoodBank. 

These community partners play a critical role in supporting at-risk youth, and victims and survivors of human trafficking. Together, we are creating a safer, stronger Peel through innovative public police partnerships.

These arrests reflect the coordinated efforts of Peel Regional Police and our law enforcement partners across jurisdictions to disrupt these networks and hold those responsible accountable.

Extortion is not confined to one region but connected both nationally and internationally. Addressing it requires strong cross-border collaboration and intelligence-sharing among agencies.

We recognize the fear and harm this has caused, particularly within the South Asian community, and remain committed to put a stop to these crimes and keep our communities safe.

[Deputy Chief Marc Andrews @DeputyAndrews]

Outstanding work by @PeelPolice 12 Div officers, the impact of organized retail theft is felt across our community. This project sends a message to those involved in criminal activity that Peel is not open for business. A great example of collaborative, intelligence led policing.

[Chief Nishan Duraiappah @ChiefNish]

Reflecting on a meaningful fireside chat with the @RotaractSauga. Youth shared a clear message: community safety is about trust, inclusion and belonging. Grateful for the open dialogue and the opportunity to keep building stronger collaborative approaches to community safety together.

[Chief Nishan Duraiappah @ChiefNish]

To our 70 newest members sworn in yesterday, you’ve joined one of the most incredible careers imaginable @PeelPolice.

Crimes that target children know no boundaries, especially online.

Thank you to the dedicated members of our Internet Child Exploitation Unit for their tireless work in protecting our children and supporting victims.

This is difficult work being done with professionalism and compassion.

This arrest sends a clear message: those who prey on children will be pursued and held accountable.

A great night at the 4th Annual South Asian Collective Gala.

More than 800 people came together - a powerful reminder of the strength of community and partnerships. Proud of the SAC team and the impact they continue to make who raised $15,000 for @SevaFoodBank.

[Chief Nishan Duraiappah @ChiefNish]

Auto theft in Peel is down 50% since 2024.

We’ll continue to disrupt organized auto theft through strengthened enforcement measures and multi-sectoral partnerships.

Proud of the work being done in Peel through strong multi‑agency collaboration.

Our thoughts are with the officer’s loved ones and with every member of the OPP during this very difficult time. #Heroesinlife

The 2026 OACP Leadership Forum theme - “Leadership in Times of Crisis and Change” was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on individual journeys in policing, and the lessons learned through moments of change and growth. Appreciated the opportunity to be a part of this.

[Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich @DC_Milinovich]

Happy to join @CACP_ACCP in Ottawa to meet with Senators and members of Parliament to discuss the importance of Bill C-22.

Enhancements to "lawful access" will help protect our communities from threats like extortion, auto theft, and organized crime.

Leadership is measured by service. During #NationalVolunteerWeek, we recognize Inspector Bob Nagra, recipient of the Canadian Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers.

His dedication to community and commitment to helping others reflect the very best of our profession. Congratulations, Bob, on this well-deserved honour.

Thank you @rubysahotalib and @BaltejSDhillon for honouring Bob’s achievements.

[Chief Nishan Duraiappah @ChiefNish]
