Toronto Police Services Board Seeks Input from the Public for Its Four-Year Strategic Plan

May 10, 2023

The Toronto Police Services Board (the Board) invites the public to contribute to the development of its four-year strategic plan, which sets out the key policing priorities for our communities.

The Community Safety and Policing Act (2019), which is expected to come into force in the near future, requires all police boards to develop a four-year strategic plan that addresses, among other things:

How the police service board will ensure the provision of adequate and effective policing;
Objectives, priorities and core functions of the police service;
Performance objectives and indicators of outcomes relating to a number of prescribed matters;
Interactions with youth, members of racialized groups, members of First Nation, Inuit, and Metis communities, and people who appear to have a mental health condition;
Information technology; and
Resource planning.

In developing the strategic plan, the Board has engaged widely with both internal and external stakeholders and partners. The Board will also be engaging with members of Toronto City Council to obtain their unique and important perspective.

Make Your Voice Heard!

The Board is now seeking input from the broader public in determining the key priorities that should guide the Toronto Police Service (the Service) over the next four years.

Members of the public are invited to suggest up to three priorities on which the Service should focus over the next four years. These priorities will reflect areas and themes that may go beyond the Service’s ongoing commitment to the adequate and effective service delivery of its core duties, and address additional areas for improvement on which the Service should focus.

Submissions can be made anonymously until July 31, 2023, through the following form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Feedback-from-Community-Members

All submissions will be reviewed and considered as part of the development of the strategic plan. The Board aims to review the plan in early 2024.

The Toronto Police Services Board is the civilian body responsible for governing the Toronto Police Service. The Board is responsible for ensuring the provision of adequate and effective police services in the City of Toronto, setting priorities and objectives for the Toronto Police Service, approving the annual police budget and selecting the Chief of Police.
