High-Risk Offenders Unit

Officers making an arrest

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.

The High-Risk Offenders Unit was responsible for the arrest of 88 offenders in 2011.
