The Regent Park Community hosts a Police Quarterly meeting
Deborah is a Cooperative student at FOCUS MEDIA ARTS CENTRE
Neighbourhood Community officers reported the good news to our community that there has been no shootings nor homicides in Regent Park so far this year, although there’s lots of work to be done. Toronto Police officers from 51 Division held their quarterly community meeting with Regent Park residents on March 27th, 2023 at 150 River St to discuss neighbourhood policing, youth engagement, crime statistics and trends, police-community projects, crime prevention, avoiding scams and fraudsters, and other community concerns. The community discussion was moderated by Sergeant Henry Dyck—the Neighbourhood Community officer supervisor. City Councillor for Toronto Centre Ward 13, Chris Moise, and TCHC Supervisor of Revitalization and Renewal Communities, Shane Bourne were also present at the meeting.
Sergeant Henry Duck began the meeting with positive news to share. He reported that from January 1st to March 27th the six neighbourhoods within Regent Park have been doing well in all indicators that the police track including statistics on assault, sexual assault, shootings, auto theft and homicides. They have decreased.
Additionally, a discussion about the Toronto Community Crisis Service arose, and questions about community engagement with the service, its processes and its effects were discussed. The Toronto Community Crisis Service was launched in early 2022 and was initiated by the city in response to concerns of the community. This service provides an alternate solution to an individual experiencing a mental health crisis and having police attending to the matter with motives of focusing on health and the individual themselves, rather than responding with police enforcement.
Although it's too early to discuss its results calls within the area of mental health crises, they have declined to about 14% because of TCCS availability. With this new service and its accessibility to residents like those of Regent Park, the outlook of future projects like TCCS and implementing them across the city look good.
