Summary
"This report was prepared at the direction of Chief of Police Julian Fantino with the co-operation
and involvement of senior officers and members from all commands of the Toronto Police
Service.
Statistics Canada has referred to Toronto as “a world within a city”. Policing a richly
multicultural and multiracial environment can be very rewarding, but can also present
challenges for a police organization that is dedicated to delivering effective services to all
stakeholders equally. This report outlines the most significant efforts made by the Toronto
Police Service to ensure that it can meet these challenges."--Executive Summary.
