Due to increased tensions in the Middle East and as we approach the one-year anniversary of the events of October 7, 2023, @YRP is deploying two command posts and additional patrols to ensure our community remains safe and secure.
Beginning October 2, 2024, officers will conduct increased foot and mobile patrols near faith-based institutes, schools and community centres.
Additionally, officers will be available at two command posts operating in the community from October 4 to 8, 2024, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The first command post will be stationed at the corner of Bathurst Street and Clark Avenue, near the Promenade Shopping Centre.
The second command post will be a mobile unit operating throughout Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham.
Locations include:
Longo’s, 2810 Major Mackenzie Drive (10/4 and 10/8)
Hillcrest Mall, 9350 Yonge Street (10/5)
Armadale Community Centre, 2401 Denison Street (10/6)
Jaffari Community Centre, 9000 Bathurst Street (10/7)
@YRP is reminding the community that we will not tolerate any form of hate crime or the threat of violence against anyone: all hate/bias incidents will be investigated thoroughly. Anyone looking to report a crime should call the non-emergency line at 1-866-876-5423 or 9-1-1 for emergencies.
