Community Engagement
Community engagement is fundamental to the Toronto Police Service Board’s governance role and decision-making. The Board engages with a broad range of communities, organizations, and stakeholders to help inform its work and support equitable, accountable policing. Community input helps shape policy development, advocacy, strategic planning, and other initiatives within the Board’s governance and oversight mandate.
Board Engagement Strategy
The Board is committed to developing a revised approach to strengthen how it consults and builds relationships with communities across Toronto. The strategy will support meaningful, inclusive, and accessible engagement while recognizing the diverse experiences and perspectives of residents.
