BREAKING: Toronto police to boost presence on TTC following spike in violence
Police Chief Myron Demkiw announced the boost alongside Mayor John Tory, as well as TTC CEO Rick Leary, at a news conference Thursday afternoon.
The move will see 80 police officers deployed on the TTC network daily, which Demkiw says will focus on reducing victimization, preventing crimes of opportunity, and enhancing public safety. Demkiw said the deployment will rely on callback shifts, which lean on off-duty officers for coverage in an overtime capacity.
