Please share widely. We need the public’s help. If you have any information, no matter how small, report it and contact police immediately. If you see Esther or know anything that could assist investigators, call us right away! @TorontoPolice @tps32NCO @Shomrimtoronto

[Toronto Police @TorontoPolice]

Our partnership and collaboration with the Jewish Security Network and information provided by @ShomrimToronto at the scene assisted @TorontoPolice investigators and helped lead to a very quick arrest by our officers. Public and community safety is best served when we work together. In an emergency, always call 9-1-1. For information on these charges, please see our news release: https://t.co/quWMHXnk0K

As Hanukkah begins, the world is grieving today’s antisemitic terror attack in Bondi Beach. Our thoughts are with the victims’ families and Toronto’s Jewish community. We stand against hate and terrorism. While there is no nexus to Toronto, the @TorontoPolice have deployed a whole-of-service approach to increase police presence and visibility to Toronto’s Jewish communities including at schools, places of worship, events today and throughout the holidays.

[Toronto Police @TorontoPolice]

As the Jewish community observes the High Holy Days, we recognize the importance of safety and security.

Over the coming weeks, our officers will increase patrols and maintain a visible presence near synagogues and other places of worship across Toronto.

Command posts will also be established at strategic locations.

We will continue working with our partners to ensure our communities are safe and feel safe.

“A powerful moment shared with @TPSMyronDemkiw, colleagues, & faith leaders at the @TorontoPolice @TPS32Div #PrayerWalk—faith, community, and police together, building trust, hope, and safer streets. #StrongerTogether”

[Toronto Police @TorontoPolice]

Nearly all major crime indicators in Toronto are down in 2025, but distraction-style thefts are on the rise. That’s why we’re increasing our efforts to arrest and charge those responsible.
Protect yourself and your belongings by staying aware of your surroundings, and always keeping your valuables close to your body.

Leadership is a practice, a commitment and a responsibility. It was an honour to welcome women from across Canada to the IACP Women’s Leadership Institute at the Toronto Police College. I am proud to support their ongoing development as future leaders in policing.

[Paul Rinkoff @PaulRinkoff]

A pleasure to attend the graduation of 500 police recruits @OntarioPoliceCollege. 91 are returning to @TorontoPolice College for even more specialized training and then to our communities! #Congratulations ! You will meet them very soon!

[Chief Myron Demkiw @TPSMyronDemkiw]

Conversations like these are important and necessary. Today was an opportunity to learn from partners and offer feedback. The Toronto Police Service will continue to be a strong partner in the fight against antisemitism and all hate crimes. Please report any suspected hate crime to police so it can be investigated.

This week, IACP President Ken Walker attended the @TorontoPolice graduation ceremony where 90 cadets were sworn into policing service.
