Command Post Deployments

You may notice York Regional Police officers in your neighbourhood in the coming days.

We are proactively increasing patrols and deploying the YRP Command Post at strategic locations across the region, as members of our community observe Passover.

This means you may see officers near places of worship, community centres or other gathering places, and in your neighbourhood. Officers on patrol and stationed at the Command Post will be available to answer questions, take reports and address any concerns from residents.

York Regional Police continues to work directly with community groups and faith leaders to support local events, services and celebrations. We are in constant collaboration with community safety, law enforcement and intelligence partners at the municipal, provincial and federal levels, proactively monitoring the situation with a focus on preventing hate-motivated activity.

Hate, bigotry and violence have no place in York  Region.

If you experience a hate crime or bias incident, please contact police immediately. In an emergency, or if you see a crime in progress, dial 9-1-1.       

For non-emergencies, call police at 1-866-876-5423.
