High Risk Offenders Unit

The High-Risk Offenders Unit develops management strategies for high-risk federal and provincial parolees to ensure they are complying with court-ordered conditions and to prevent further criminal behaviour. They liaise with other York Regional Police units and outside agencies such as Correctional Service of Canada and Provincial Probation and Parole Offices, as well as monitor both the federal and provincial sex offender registries. New in 2010 was the creation of the Bail Management Unit. The new unit operates out of each of our District Headquarters where, under the leadership of the six members of the High-Risk Offenders Unit, uniform officers conduct repeated and random checks to ensure offenders under court-ordered conditions are complying.
