TPS 32 Div Community Safety & Auto Theft Update Meeting

A message from Councillor Mike Colle, Deputy Mayor & Toronto City Councillor, Ward 8, Eglinton-Lawrence:

Dear neighbours,

Join Me & Toronto Police Service’s 32 Division for a Community Safety & Auto Theft Update Meeting on September 9th

While we have made some progress fighting the ongoing crisis of auto theft and home break-ins that have been occurring here in Eglinton-Lawrence and across the City of Toronto, I continue to hear from you and I remain committed to solving this crisis.

For years, I have been writing to our Provincial and Federal governments demanding that they update their antiquated laws and for additional resources for our law enforcement agencies to have the tools necessary to combat this increase in violent crime.

On Monday September 9th, 2024 — you are invited to join me, alongside members of Toronto Police Service’s 32 Division for a Community Safety & Auto Theft Update Meeting.

This meeting will allow you to hear what new tools Toronto Police have been deploying in order to combat auto theft in our community; and what you can do to work together with me to help advocate for the changes we need.

Monday September 9th, 2024
7:00pm – 8:30pm
Toronto Cricket Skating & Curling Club
141 Wilson Avenue

RSVP is required for this event, as space is limited. Please call 416-338-0008, or email my office.
